Dave and Liz, partners, live in Slab City, despite objection from their relatives who believe they should be in treatment facilities for mental illness. Slab City is a camp in the Colorado Desert in southeastern California used by RV owners and squatters. It is built around an abandoned WWII Marine barrack with no electricity or running water.
