Thomas Boykin has spent the last two years stuffing his brain with science. For the geeky twenty-one-year-old medical student, the summer of '71 should be a relaxing break from academia. Instead Thomas opts for practical experience in an emergency room, where a terrible tragedy presents a harsh dose of reality.
After witnessing a child die from a hit-and-run accident, his sadness over her senseless passing, coupled with suppressed grief over his grandfather's death, proves too much. Thomas's custom motorcycle provides a much needed escape and he hits the road, unknowingly embarking on a life-changing adventure.
Soon the sheltered minister's son crosses paths with outlaw bikers. As he navigates this new world of drugs, kidnapping, and general debauchery, Thomas confronts true temptation when he meets Delisay Dee Davis. As he struggles to uphold his Christian moral standards, Thomas and Delisay become fully immersed in violent motorcycle gang culture after two college students are kidnapped.
It is only after risking his life for his beloved that Thomas learns valuable lessons about passion and loss, and finally accepts his own unique place in the world.
