When your path is driven by anxiety, how do you let God take the wheel?
Can a 1983 Volvo really help a man struggling with anxiety? What if the old car could help him find faith?
When Brandon Polson was 13, he was struck by a drunk driver while riding his skateboard. The accident left him with physical scars, emotional trauma, and a lingering fear of accidents that would follow him for years. Life in high school and college proved challenging, to say the least. As Brandon moves to California in his early twenties to start his career in the environmental field, it becomes evident that he's still plagued by anxiety and searching for the presence of God. But first, he needs reliable transportation.
When he inherits a dilapidated old Volvo, affectionately named Rusty, from his uncle, Brandon is sure his situation has only worsened. The car is an unreliable disaster, and every trip behind the wheel reawakens old fears, leaving him anxious, lonely, and confused. But when Rusty limps into the parking lot of an auto repair shop, he meets Emily, a mechanic with a passion for cars, and, as it turns out, the key to the healing and faith he's been searching for all along.
