Seventeen-year-old Allie O'Brien is a top-caliber track and cross-country runner with ambitious goals. She plans on winning an athletic scholarship to Virginia Tech so she can study to become a successful writer one day. But before Allie can move forward toward her future, there are a few hurdles she must overcome.
After being kicked off the track and cross-country teams at her old school for smoking pot, Allie comes to Riverbend High School looking for a fresh start. But no sooner does she get to Riverbend than she resorts to bad habits and becomes a target for bullies.
Her first real friend is the handsome Ruben Gonzales. He, too, has come to Riverbend looking for a fresh start. And just like Allie, he's struggling with substance abuse. He's also facing drug gang reprisals. To make matters worse, he's carrying a world-shaking secret related to his recent emigration from El Salvador following his father's death amid a brutal civil war.
Can Allie and Ruben overcome the obstacles they face? Or will their friendship prove to be a recipe for disaster? Follow their journey in Route 1 Rendezvous as their demons and their dreams engage in all-out war.
