“Half
Ass Jig” is the story of an eccentric group of Boise characters whose
lives intersect as they make their way to L.A.
Cliff, the horseless cowboy (Richard Sankey), thinks his soul was
sold when his ex-girlfriend sold a sculpture, “Cliff’s Soul,” to
famous Hollywood producer Chris Stonely (Cary White).
When he goes to recover it, she tries to stop him, accompanied by a
Boise bum who stands to inherit the world.
Cliff’s
father, Percy (Bob Taylor), who faked his own death and ran off to
California, sold a script to the same Hollywood producer who bought
“Cliff’s Soul.” When
Cliff’s mom, Gayle (Terry Davis), discovers her husband’s plan, she
heads to L.A., followed by her private-detective lover (Victor Vargas).
Meanwhile,
the producer’s mentally ill younger brother, Bob (Jeremiah Walker),
heads for California when he receives a flyer on how to get rich as a porn
star.
These
characters, strangely connected, but ironically oblivious to each other,
cross paths with assorted cops, killers and ex-boyfriends, each looking
for something to fill the void of their empty, half-assed lives.
