Imagine if Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ took place at a dive motel in Vegas but with rootsy americana tunes. This is the story of touring musician, Jeff Mix, who finds himself at the Gateway Motel, in the same city he got hitched in. That evening a gun shot rings out,. Someone will lose their life. With so many shady people, the shot could be meant for any one of them. The prostitute,the motel manager, the mob guy, the con­man, the mysterious man in search of a woman and her daughter.

Lost Vegas Hiway is a unique film that steps away from your standard 3 act story and allows the songs to help tell the story of the down and out souls at the Gateway Motel.
