Tired of her dull job as a waitress, Donna decides to join two carnival hustlers and see what life in their field is like.

When a carnival comes to a small town, 18-year-old Donna meets Frankie and Patch, two carnival hustlers. They earn their living by mercilessly taunting spectators to try to dump one of them into the water by throwing balls. Donna is tired of her work as a waitress and follows them through the South.—Mattias Thuresson
