It's 1998, and pill-popping siblings Jennie and Simian have a problem. Their favorite spot by the Hudson River is about to be closed off by AmTrain, which is planning a bullet train from NYC to Albany closing off access to the water for residents east of the Hudson. Lucky for them, Dapper Dan, the straight-edged kid in their group, will do anything for Jennie – inspire a letter writing campaign, get her drugs, anything. As they plan, anthropomorphic manifestations appear around them – the Headless Horseman who must now wear an old IBM computer monitor on his shoulders; Johnny Appleseed, who fills a candy machine near the tracks with Apple Jim Jims; the Voice of The Boy That Died; etc.; - however, these manifestations remain unseen until tragedy strikes, as the misfits attempt to disrupt an oncoming train by any means necessary. Tracks reminds us that we all become myth to those who look through the windows of a speeding passenger train as they imagine what life must be like under a Catskill moon.
