Las Vegas, 1983.
Seventeen. Out of school. Answerable to no one.
Sanctuary Row is a faded head shop on Comanche Avenue - rock on the house stereo, incense in the cases, a line chopped on the office calendar before the front lights come on. Joe opens Sundays because the extra cash buys smokes and the empty morning feels like it belongs to him. The Mustang still runs. The desert is still close. Freedom still looks like it might last.
It doesn't.
A girl ends up in his bed. Then in his room. Then in his family. By the time the test comes back, the people who were supposed to protect him have already decided what he is for. The shop was never a future. It was a delay.
Inspired by true events, Sanctuary Row is the story of the last summer a boy thought he was free - and the trap that closed when nobody was looking.
Contains explicit language, drug use, sexual content, and family abuse.
