Four young men, four motorcycles, one open road. Adventure and tragedy await a group of friends as they ride along the desolate, small-town landscape of the American Southwest. Leaving their cell phones behind, the group makes a decision to live in the present and embrace the open road and all it brings. Not always getting along between themselves, or with others, each member of the group struggles over the question of what really matters in life, and when secrets come to light the pressure builds among the riders to stay together as a group.The riders-Jordan Wryte, a driven man determined to build something of his life with his own business; his brother, Steven Wryte, just out of college who cannot decide what he wants to do now; Michael Case, Jordan's best friend who hides a childhood background of abuse; and Derek Connor, wild and unpredictable, driven by a horror that makes him contemplate dying every day-roll through California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada.The four young men reach a breaking point near the end of the trip, and when it seems everything might work out after all, a tragedy strikes that changes all four forever.

San Diego architect Michael Collwood finds his life shattered after his beautiful wife is murdered with an intentional drug overdose, and the police name him as the prime suspect. After two years the investigation grows cold and Michael has lost everything else: his career, his home, his friends, and his self-respect. Drinking heavily, he hikes far into the desert where he plans to end his ravaged life. But while there he witnesses a small plane crash and finds a dead pilot at the site, one hundred kilos of cocaine, and two million in cash. Michael realizes he now has the opportunity to find his wife's killers, and he returns to San Diego with one thought on his mind: revenge. But Michael discovers he represents a threat to a politically ambitious mayor, the DEA, and the Tijuana drug cartel. In his quest to find his wife's killers, Michael finds the only person he can trust is a wise, old man who is homeless but believes he is living in the 18th century.
