Summary
In the dusty forgotten town of Devil's Lake, North Dakota, nothing ever changes, and no one ever leaves. On the outskirts of town, Max Glenreed owns a small auto repair shop where he sleeps on the pullout sofa at night, and works on cars during the day. When Max is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, it doesn't make much of a difference to him.
He's spent the last eight years trying to forget the past, so when Ash Callenreese shows up at the edge of the lane one afternoon, Max barely recognizes him.
Ash is taller, his face is sadder, there's a cigarette in his hand, and his pupils are blown wide by drugs. He looks nothing like the kid Max grew up with, but seeing him again sparks a life inside of Max that he forgot existed.
In the garage sits the frame of an old 1969 Chevelle that Max is determined to restore before his time is up.
With Ash's help, he realizes that together, they can rebuild so much more than just a car.
