High school is over, summer is ending, and Jake must say goodbye to his best friend Sarah but canβt. Instead, he confesses his true love and his desire to go with her. When Sarah rejects him, Jake seeks out escape by any means necessary: random sex, violence, going crazy, even buying into Charlesβ deluded dream of driving to Toronto to become a stand up comic. But Jakeβs real escape route leads not along the open road. It leads in the direction of a crazed dancing stranger.
