It's late 1998. Salem Schofield is a 30-something poet with a problem. America hates poets. Web content creators have yet to be born, and U.S. society has no use for creatives who aren't celebrities. But Salem can't do normal. He tried and cried in his corporate cubicle and ended up living in his car. It's time to end it all. Until a stupid commercial makes him more irritated than depressed, and he shoots the TV instead. Now he's on Amtrak across America in a final effort to find a reason to live. Armed with prescription codeine, a 5L box of Cabernet and a notepad, Salem is a magical revolving door in time and space. In and out of consciousness, he writes, passes out, travels in memory and awakens to a different seatmate every time. Will suicidal Salem live to see Christmas? Ask new friends Jackie, Buzz, Lynsie, Miyanna and Agnes.
