Just as Kait believes she has found her place among the groupies travelling together in a messy van, a young man with the eye-roll worthy name of Horizon sits beside her and alters her fragile plan for the foreseeable future. Amidst the whirlwind of the groupie lifestyle, their growing feelings soar to ecstatic heights, while propelling them toward an impending reckoning with their troubled pasts.
