When Claudia leaves for her trip to Seattle without a formal goodbye, Damien is crushed. Intent on getting the proper goodbye he deserves, he drags Newt with him cross the country to make that happen.Though along the way, they encounter pink-haired hitchhikers, Amazonian built bartenders, and much more. Will their friendship stay intact in the end, or will it blossom into something more? ------ mad props to winters- for the cover
