How much grief and guilt can one soul carry?
After his entire family is murdered by corrupt local officials, Matty Lassiter finds himself all alone. Not even his best friend, Tristan King, remains, driven away by a violent clash fueled by shock and grief. With no hope left but to find his missing friend, Matty sets out on an endless search, an endless flight from all that he lost.
Eventually stranded in the Nevada high desert upon the Loneliest Road in America, Matty is left with nothing but time-time to reflect and consider hard truths. No longer alone, he finds himself surrounded by the other misfits of the Lonely Road, including a shy yet caring shut-in named Seth. Burdened with his own painful past and secrets, Seth sees Matty more than he's ever been seen, and he offers Matty hope that he fears to accept.
They say time heals all wounds, but just how far can a person be pushed before they break?
