Spring, 1971. Eighteen-year-old Aaron Berg is hitchhiking for his life, trying to come to terms with the sexual assault he and his new girlfriend survived in Canada five months earlier. Determined to reclaim his faith in humanity, Aaron’s harrowing journey through Appalachia reveals newfound joys and an unexpected truth that changes his life.
