On a Black Tar Road between nowhere and somewhere, two misunderstood women find love in between the cracks of hardships. And misfortune

BLACK TAR ROAD is a gritty, dark, love story between two women, Heather and Charlie, who meet at a desolate truck stop. Charlie McElroy (Amber Lee) is a drug mule, who mules drugs for an operation that is run out of an interstate truck stop. After Charlie hangs around town where she meets Heather Plath, (Noelle Messier) a hardened truck stop prostitute who's spent her life in the rural landscape. Few films are more despairing and yet, curiously, so hopeful as this one, which argues that even at the very end of the road, at the final extremity, we can find some solace in the offer and acceptance of love. These women fall in love with each other.—Abovo Productions

BLACK TAR ROAD is a gritty, dark, junkie love story of two women, Heather, a desperate truck stop prostitute, and Charlie, a trucker addicted to heroin. These two lost souls, battle their addictions, guilt, and a religious community, in hopes of finding love and their own kind of faith in the middle of nowhere.

There is a synopsis that is not accurate here. It states there is a hermaphrodite in the film. No, there is no hermaphrodite. This is a junkie love story between two women.

A beautiful drifter woman named Charlie goes to the middle of nowhere to slowly suicide herself, but first she has to finish a mission to protect her past. When her truck breaks down, she rents a small apartment "month to month" but says she "shouldn't be here that long."

She has an addiction and a past she can't escape but when she meets Heather, she recognizes feelings she hasn't experienced before. She finds a child-like vulnerability with Heather, and wants to be close to her. When Heather decides to join Charlie for a bottle of whiskey, Heather walks out of the bathroom and takes Charlie's breath away. Heather says "men like her without clothing, she just thought.." and then they both know this is more than either of them bargained for. Charlie wraps up her arm, takes a hit of heroin in an injection, and admits her addictions. Together they talk of aspirations, and dreams, but Heather has never been anywhere, and Charlie can't stop running. So they stay where they are, hooked. Watching the addicts spiral out of control, we bear witness to the dirtiest, ugliest portions of the underworld addicts reside in. It is shocking and eye-opening but demands to be seen by both addicts and non-addicts alike. The trailers and meth labs out in the desert are the homes for those lost between the cracks, this is not just Charlie and Heathers story, but everyone's story.

Being in the middle of a lesbian love-affair, the two of them have to overcome small town judgements, while overcoming their addictions and facing the leader of a meth lab ring leader who has a vendetta to handle.

Truckers come and go, Lot Lizards specialize in making a moment of happy in the desert of nothing...where everything goes wrong, and change is invisible, how can they escape the life they have built, and let love be more than just a good thing to do in the middle of a drug high.
