A distraught young woman, a solitary truck driver, and an injured dog find hope and love on the American road...a story about survival and finding the truth.
Poker-playing Dawn Carlisle is running from a domineering mother, a penchant for alcohol, and an ex-husband suing her for custody of their daughter.
Abner Weaver, nursing a Post-Traumatic Stress hangover acquired in Vietnam, has drifted back into long haul trucking, his cab a "foxhole against the world."
An injured dog draws Dawn and Abner together. A vicious gang of cardsharps, a globalist trucking company owner, and a shower of Texas Hold 'em winnings sever their relationship--ultimately driving them to a moment of perception and healing.
