Plot
The Natural History of Parking Lots is set in Los Angeles the late 1980s. Chris (Charlie Bean) is arrested for stealing a car. His distant father (Charles Taylor) (who insists his sons call him "Sam" and not "Dad") arranges for him to be bailed into the custody of Chris's older brother, Lance (B. Wyatt). The brothers seem to bond, but there is always the suspicion that Lance is merely using his newly-domestic situation as a cover for his real business, gun-running.
