Michael Rhoades wakes up one morning and has no idea that within twenty-four hours he will lose his job, his wife, his mistress, and the respect of his children. These events send him wandering the freeways of the west trying to escape his life and at the same time, make sense of it. His trip takes him to the hometown he has avoided for years, his old college campus, and a side trip to Las Vegas where he meets a woman who may be crazy or may be the perfect woman for him. His journey ends with a chance meeting that will tear his world apart and will bring meaning to it at the same time.
