On the heels of TJ's 18th birthday, a strange man appears at his door on Cape Cod to give him an envelope from his deadbeat father with a single car key, the name of a mechanic, and a California address with a date and time on it just a few weeks into the future. TJ's curiosity gets the best of him as he sets out to uncover mysteries of his past, friendship and love - and the suspicious sealed container in the trunk of his 1968 Dodge Polara. Along the way he is guided by Billy, the neighborhood mechanic, Jake, his privileged best friend with overbearing parents, and Maeve, a young Irish woman on her own cross-country journey across the US. In this coming-of-age-story, TJ gains the courage to step into the next phase of his life with the beauty of the open road as his back-drop. 译文(2): 在 TJ 的18岁生日之后，一个陌生的男人出现在他在科德角的家门口，给了他一个信封，信封上是他那游手好闲的父亲写的，上面只有一把车钥匙，一个机械师的名字，还有一个加利福尼亚的地址，上面写着未来几周的日期和时间。当 TJ 开始揭开他的过去、友谊和爱情的秘密，以及他1968年的道奇宝拉拉汽车后备箱里那个可疑的密封容器时，他的好奇心战胜了他的好奇心。一路上，他在邻家机械师比利、杰克和梅芙的带领下，前者是他最好的朋友，享有特权，父母专横，后者是一位年轻的爱尔兰女性，正在横跨国家的旅途中。在这个成长的故事中，TJ 鼓起勇气踏入他人生的下一个阶段，以美丽的大路为背景。
