How far would you go to remove yourself from peril. For Truman Joseph and his buddy Baz, there's only one answer: Pack your toothbrush and get to Mexico. But on the way, unexplained events -- starting with a car in a shack at the edge of a cornfield -- lead Tru to believe that his real peril may lie elsewhere. Tru finds himself on a tightrope between two different realities. Which one will he choose on this road to an unexpected but all too real destination.
