On opposite sides of the country, two men take to the road, in different, unrelated pursuits. One has abducted his four-year-old stepdaughter after an ugly breakup with his wife, and heads south in Oregon on I-5. The other man has just been fired in Indiana, where he works at the local High Road Truck Plaza, for sexual harassment, a relatively new grounds for dismissal in this year of 1995. He vows revenge against his former employer, and has unfinished business with the object of his desire who got him fired. He plans to sabotage various High Road truck stops in the Midwest in retribution. The vast interstate highway system of the US is the backdrop for the story, where two hired detectives pursue the above two marks, with truck stops as the staging points for the plights of the pursued and pursuers. This book uses the thrill of the chase, vengeful love, and the romance and unknowns of the road as related by the author whose career in the truck stop industry adds authenticity and credibility to the narrative, which builds to an exciting climax in the end.
