Summary
A desperate gambit fuels the odyssey of an everyman, unexpectedly thrust into a cross-country race against time and circumstance. Promised a life-altering position contingent on his timely arrival on the opposite coast, our protagonist embarks on this daunting trek utterly bereft of resources. His journey, a testament to sheer, unyielding resolve bordering on outright folly, quickly devolves into an escalating series of misadventures. The open road, initially a symbol of opportunity, transforms into a crucible where he inadvertently becomes entangled with a cadre of recently escaped convicts, their nefarious intentions clashing violently with his own singular, desperate objective. Concurrently, his path converges with a peculiar ensemble of long-distance runners, their disciplined pursuit of athletic endurance a stark, almost absurd counterpoint to his chaotic flight. This intricate tapestry of coincidences and escalating peril forces him to navigate a treacherous landscape populated by both deliberate malfeasance and the relentless, almost arbitrary forces of fate, all while the clock inexorably ticks towards his make-or-break deadline.
Synopsis
A man is offered a great job, but with two drawbacks: it's on the other side of the country, and he has to be there by a certain date--and he's broke. He sets out anyway, and along the way gets tangled up with escaped convicts and long-distance runners.
