Summary
Events take place as a continuation to the ending of Drive (2011) where Driver uses Lars's guest house as a safe haven for recovery. Will he skip town the second his wounds are healed, or will something compel him to stay?

"He lost focus on reality for a few moments as he thought about the look on Lars’s face when he saw turquoise waves pushing themselves to shore for the first time. What would he say about his first tropical sunset? He always had the perfect thing to say. He could listen to Lars talk forever. Now, he was pretty confident that Lars would hate sand with a burning passion, but there were always ways around that. Hell, if he had to carry him around, so be it…
A shriek followed by a gunshot ripped him out of his daydream. His head whipped to the entrance as the small part of the ceiling that was shot fell quietly to the ground. A man in a motorcycle helmet was shaking a pistol in his right hand, screaming for people to–
