1989: Suzanne is a wild child, swept up in her fathers world of muscle cars and rock n roll. Theres nowhere she would rather be than out on the road with his band, on the concert tour that might skyrocket them to stardom. After one night of chaos and bloodshed brings their whole world crashing down, young Suzanne will never be the same.

2018: Suzanne trades the guts and glory of her youth for the calm stability of suburbia, but the marriage that was supposed to be her solid ground now feels more like a cage. When her estranged fathers untimely death offers her an escape, Suzanne leaps at the chance - driving back into the past shes spent decades trying to outrun, even as her present threatens to catch up.

A raucous, breakneck ride to hell and back - where getting lost might be the only way to find yourself and save your soul.
