Jonah and his young brother, Simon, are on their own. They set
out to find what’s left of their family, carrying between
them $10, a backpack full of dirty clothes, a notebook, and a stack
of letters from their brother, who is serving a tour in the army.
And soon into their journey, they have a ride. With a man and a
girl who may be in love with Jonah. Or Simon. Or both of them.

The man is crazy. The girl is desperate. This violent ride is
only just the beginning. And it will leave the brothers taking
cover from hard truths about loyalty, love and survival that crash
into their lives.

One more thing: The brothers have a gun. They’re going to
need it.
