Jeremiah Blades had it all in 1967, the Summer of Love: a coveted DJ slot on Boston Top 40 radio; Eve, his adventurous young Flower Power wife; and Gideon, his beautiful baby boy. Then he blew it all.
Twenty years later he’s still a DJ, but living a hermit’s existence now in rural New Hampshire, wishing he could find his long lost son, when Artie Turnbull, a shady character from Jeremiah’s past, shows up with a bundle of stolen mob money. He wants Jeremiah to deliver the cash to a reclusive Indian hippie named Joseph Ironwing Longfeather who lives somewhere in the wilderness of the Arizona desert. As a measure of his gratitude, Artie offers Jeremiah a cool $40k in laundered “favor money.”
Energized for the first time in years, Jeremiah buys a chopper motorcycle and sets out for Arizona to find Longfeather and make the promised delivery before he begins his search for Gideon. Along the way he picks up Sonora “Sonny” Ortiz, a gorgeous, albeit “slightly pregnant” prostitute who’s running from her past and wants to change. For Sonny and Jeremiah the road will be a long and dangerous one, with no guarantees they’ll find what they’re looking for. For them, it’s the open road and a search for a new life in an unforgiving land.
