Plans change when his visiting friend stumbles into Chicken 65, a secret road rally race running since the Vietnam War. Leaving Bangkok at dawn, drivers chase a chicken through Southeast Asia. Joining this mysterious brotherhood, the friends are thrown into a sprawling, lawless race for Chicken victory.
