A road trip through the American South, from the Booker Prize winning author.
Teenager Murdo dreams of a life beyond the constraints of his Scottish island home; Tom is terrified of losing his son and family.
As they set out on an expedition into the American South, both are in search of different things, but both will come to understand the demands of love and the lure of the open road.
