The Jesus Rolls

Jesus Quintana is released from prison. The warden warns that one more strike will lock him up for good, underscoring how tenuous his freedom is. Petey picks him up and they head into town to kick off their day.

They locate a classic muscle car and steal it, then drive to Quintana's mother's house. She is with another man, whom Quintana ejects, and they give his mother some money before they sit down to dinner. The theft sets the tone for their reckless spree.

Returning the car to its parking spot, the trio is confronted by the owner who pulls a gun. His girlfriend Marie recognizes Quintana, and as Petey tries to flee, the owner shoots him in the testicles. Quintana fights back, knocking the owner down.

Petey, Quintana, and Marie drive to a chop shop to swap vehicles. Quintana takes Petey to a doctor to extract a bullet fragment, and when they learn it only pierced the scrotum, they decide to rob the doctor. The plan adds another layer to their escalating crime spree.

Marie stays behind and cuts the chop shop mechanic's hair, while Petey and Quintana return to damage the muscle car's brakes and structural integrity. They then steal away in the other car, continuing their chaotic escape. The trio's reckless behavior deepens their criminal ties.

The trio stops at a restaurant, but they bolt when they see cops. They steal two bicycles and are chased by farmers, while Marie is pursued for leaving the restaurant with a runner. The flight from authority accelerates their downward spiral.

Petey and Quintana steal another car and head for train tracks, boarding a train. Getting off, they watch a woman breast-feed her infant at a train station, then Marie confronts them for deserting her, and the trio board yet another train.

They find a house where Quintana cleans Petey's wound. Marie tells them that Paul has sold the car, and Petey has sex with Marie while Quintana watches and cheers. Marie boasts that she has had sex with thousands of people.

When they break into Paul's beauty salon and steal the money, Marie freaks out and attacks them. They tie her up and leave her there. Their escalating violence continues as they advance toward money and power.

The pair go bowling, where Quintana dances with a woman who yells at him and leaves. The moment exposes his odd charm and the audience's ambivalent reaction to his antics.

They pick up recently released inmate Jean from a women's prison and take her to buy clothes. At a beachside restaurant, Jean talks to the owner about her menstrual cycle, then they head to a motel where Petey and Quintana have sex with Jean, who then shoots herself. The sequence intensifies the group's moral collapse.

The trio flee and return to the earlier house where Marie is waiting for them. Tension remains as they rejoin the group and carry on despite the earlier betrayals. The homecoming underscores the film's cyclical chaos.

Jean's son Jack is getting out of prison the next day, so Petey and Quintana pick him up. They go to a cabin in the woods where Marie is waiting and have breakfast, with Jack having sex with Marie while Petey and Quintana fish.

The four head to rob a corrections officer Jack knows; he shoots and has nothing, while the others flee. They steal another car and leave the city, then a newspaper notes they are wanted for the officer's shooting. They stop by a lake for Marie to pee and spot a nearby muscle car.

Quintana, Petey, and Marie steal the muscle car, leaving the smart car behind. The car loses control as the foundation comes loose and the brakes jam, causing a crash. They realize it is Paul's car from earlier, damaged in the chop shop, and they hitchhike afterward.
