Summary
Ryland Grace is an overthinking middle-school science teacher who just wants a predictable life where he’s firmly in control, unlike his family's incredibly frequent schemes.
That control evaporates when his eccentric uncles coerce him into taking custody of Mary—a heavily armored, twenty-foot transit bus currently hidden under a tarp to dodge municipal fines. Just as Ryland is spiraling over how to handle a twelve-ton vehicle he can't legally drive, Principal Stratt decides a few hiring rules are meant to be broken.
She hires Simon Fischer, a quiet, guarded new math assistant in dire need of a stable paycheck and a fresh start, explicitly assigning him to chauffeur those upcoming field trips.
Forced into an unlikely partnership, Ryland and Simon form a bond over a suspicious bus built for far more than a school commute, all while dodging their own definition of chaos and facing a threat closing in on them both.
