Sometimes falling apart is the only way back together.
Mike is sweet, supportive, and everything Brandon’s ever wanted in a boyfriend. But then there’s his grueling career, Brandon’s empty bank account, the impossible differences between their families. Not to mention the long-distance thing.
So when Brandon finds himself unexpectedly jobless, he decides it’s time for Mike to cut his losses and sets out across the country to break up with him. He hitches a ride with Vera, and the two forge an unlikely friendship as the story of Brandon and Mike’s relationship unspools.
Vera has her own reasons for hitting the road. What starts as a simple mission to reunite an abandoned urn with its rightful owner becomes a stark reminder of her self-imposed isolation. As highways blur into cheap motels, she and Brandon discover they’re not so different after all, and that by refusing to let go of hurts from the past, they're both holding themselves back from happiness.
Can Brandon face up to what's important in time to reconcile with a heartbroken Mike, or will he have to start over, fractured and alone?
