Parker doesn't trust anything that can't be fixed with a wrench. A drifter defined by her faded leather jacket and the roar of her Harley, she lives by two rules: keep moving and don't let anyone in. Out on the desolate desert highways, her only goal is outrunning a past that keeps pace with her on every mile marker.
But her carefully constructed solitude shatters when she pulls off the road and finds Ava, a girl made of sharp edges and anxiety. Ava is a newly escaped runaway, fleeing the cruel indifference of the foster system with nothing but a flimsy backpack and a heart full of fragile hope.
When Parker offers a ride, it breaks every one of her rules. Yet, the small, shy girl with the wide, frightened eyes awakens a fiercely protective instinct Parker didn't know she possessed. Ava, who has only ever known institutional coldness, finds warmth and safety in the unlikeliest of places: behind the tough exterior of the girl on the motorcycle.
As they ride deeper into the American West, their accidental partnership quickly flares into an intense, undeniable connection. But with Ava's old life hunting them and Parker's secrets threatening to pull them apart, they must decide if the sudden, electric spark they share is strong enough to pave a new road forward-or if some runaways are destined to be caught.
