On a July afternoon, Danny Fisher, Tripper Harrison, and Vincent Sarenzo, gather for a summer barbecue celebrating Tripps first real venture back into the world following heart surgery. Near evenings end, a call from San Diego shatters the festivities. The wife of their closest friend, Henry Pratt, informs them that Henry has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is refusing the treatments needed to possibly save his life. The friends rent a Mercedes convertible and drive from New York to California to confront their friend. The road trip takes them deep into a Kentucky forest where Bigfoot sightings are abundant, to Gilleys in Texas for some hard-hat days and one honky-tonk night, and under the Nevada nighttime sky where no one knows whats flying overhead. For a humorous, yet bittersweet, story of true friendship and personal growth, get in the car with Danny, Tripper, and Vinbefore the clock stops ticking.
