A wild, boundary-pushing love story fueled by danger and passion. Wild at Heart follows young lovers Sailor and Lula as they flee from Lula’s deranged mother and her deadly hitmen, in a surreal blend of romance, violence, and pure Lynchian madness.

Sailor and Lula are two lovers struggling to remain together even when fate seems intent on keeping them apart. In this case, fate is Lula's mother, Marietta Fortune; a desperate woman who hates Sailor and will do anything to keep him away from her daughter. After Sailor is released from prison for murdering a man in self-defence, he and Lula embark on a sex-filled, rocking road trip, aware all the time that they are being hunted by Marietta's cronies.
