Film Až na krv sa odohráva v Kalifornii na prelome storočia, v období ropného boomu. Príbeh dokumentuje vzostup Daniela Plainviewa, osamelého otca, ktorý sa z živoriaceho baníka v striebornej bani vypracuje na pozícii ropného magnáta. Keď Plainview dostane záhadný tip, že smerom na západ leží mestečko, v ktorom prýšti zo zeme oceán nafty, vydá sa so svojím synom H.W. skúsiť šťastie v zaprášených uliciach mesta Little Boston. Plainview a H.W. sa v tomto chudobnom meste, ktorého hlavnou atrakciou je kostol s charizmatickým kazateľom Elim Sundayom, pokúšajú prelomiť doterajšiu smolu. Ale aj keď sa im začína dariť, nedokážu uniknúť konfliktom, v ktorých sú všetky základné hodnoty – láska, nádej, pospolitosť, viera, ambície a dokonca aj puto medzi otcom a synom – ohrozované korupciou, podvodmi a prúdmi ropy.
Joe Dirt pracuje ako upratovač v jednej rozhlasovej stanici. Jedného dňa mu jeho práca nečakane zmení život. Stačilo, aby svojím mopom zakopol a doslova vletel do štúdia, kde sa sarkasticky jedovatý moderátor Zander snažil zo všetkých síl nájsť recept na zastavenie klesajúceho záujmu o vysielanie rádia. Fred, povýšený producent rádia, považuje Joea za perfektný cieľ Zanderovej jedovatosti.

Joe podrobne opisuje svoj smutný a súčasne komický príbeh o tom, ako sa snažil postarať sám o seba, o svojom sne nájsť opäť svoju rodinu a tiež o ceste naprieč Amerikou, na ktorú ho jeho sen naviedol. So zvláštne nezničiteľným optimizmom, pokračuje vo svojom hľadaní stratenej rodiny a ceste za vlastným šťastím...
