Seth and his little brother Henry haven't had the most stable of upbringings. Their father has been in and out of jail; their mother took off years ago and hasn't been seen since. Life is constantly uncertain — but a twist of fate could be just what they need.
August stopped drinking the day his son died. While on a journey that's very close to his heart, a breakdown leaves him stranded in a small town and at the mercy of the local mechanic — Seth and Henry's father.
But then August is presented with an offer he doesn't expect: take the two boys with him for the summer, and pay no charge for the repairs.
One summer...one life-changing journey. As the unlikely trio set out on their road trip, the most unlikely, unforgettable friendship begins to take shape.
