American Waste takes us into the world of Joan and Miles as they navigate through their life of junkyard dogs, public access psychics, and metalhead neighbors. Joan works shifts at the local junkyard to afford the couple’s prized sofa bed. In the midst of this seemingly never-ending cycle, the couple struggles to figure out what their next move is and if they are really ready to move on from their friends and the deadbeat town that they’ve grown to love.

When Taylor can't get her party store shift covered after her dad dies, she makes a deadly mistake that sparks a downward spiral of red, white and blue-collared chaos.
