About

After Sailor Ripley leaves prison, he and Lula Fortune drive toward California while her mother sends a detective and a gangster after them.

In Cape Fear, North Carolina, Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) leaves prison after serving his sentence. Lula Fortune (Laura Dern) waits for him outside and gives him his snakeskin jacket. They plan to drive to California together, even though the trip puts Sailor's parole at risk. Lula's mother, Marietta (Diane Ladd), rejects the relationship. She asks her boyfriend, private detective Johnnie Farragut (Harry Dean Stanton), to find the couple and bring them back. At the same time, without Farragut's knowledge, she hires gangster Marcello Santos (J.E. Freeman) to kill Sailor.

Based on Wild at Heart
