The interwoven stories of late-night strangers on a cross-country bus.

Summary:
A retirement home escapee heads for parts unknown. The Devil quits, he’s in love with a waitress. Unexpected gunshots create late-night companions. A traveling salesman picks his own place in the Universe. A wandering ex-priest looks for answers between the lines of a legal pad. Somebody’s flinging pennies at a naked businessman and she’s not at all sorry it hurts. Stranded, a student finds himself, and dinner, in the middle of nowhere. A drunk widow skips the service. An overdue family reunion solves nothing and resolves everything. Two lost kids the age of grownups decide something big for the rest of us. And all the Bus Driver’s praying for is a good night’s sleep.
