  • Wade Hampton finds himself trapped. After fifteen mind-numbing years on a factory assembly line, he finally snaps. He walks away from his job, his family, his entire life - to drive to Jerome, AZ to become an artist. He teams up with the free-spirited Jane, a symbol of everything he longs for. But as they speed farther and farther across the schorching Arizona desert, events snowball into an unforeseen crisis forcing Wade to confront realities he never would have imagined.

    ""Stylish, beautifully structured, a miracle of economy and psyhological
    validity"" -Kevin Thomas LA Times
