JFK is dead, and Frank Guidry is running for his life. A long-time lieutenant to notorious New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello, Frank knows too much about the crime of the century: the assassination of the president. Within hours of the murder, everyone with ties to Marcello is disappearing, and Guidry knows he’s next. With no good options, he hits the road.
The first rule of running is “don’t stop,” but when Guidry sees a housewife on the side of the road with a broken-down car and two young daughters in the back seat, he sees the perfect disguise to cover his tracks. Charlotte is on the run too, from a stifling small-town life and a hopeless marriage. Posing as an insurance man, Guidry offers to help Charlotte reach her destination, and desperate, she accepts.
It’s an American story: two strangers meet to share the open road west, a dream, a hope—and find each other on the way. But Guidry’s ruthless hunters are closing in on him. And if he can’t bring himself to leave the woman he’s come to love, it might get them all killed.
