Story Summary: Highway to Nowhere (And We’re Already Lost) “Ninety days. Two Walkers. One loud-as-hell Charger. What could go wrong?" Skylar is eighteen, officially done with high school, and ready to finally start living. The only problem? His dad, Elias Walker, has other plans. Eli is only thirty-six—young enough that people constantly mistake them for brothers—but old enough to realize he’s spent the last eighteen years being a protector instead of a presence. In a desperate, mid-life attempt at redemption, Eli has packed their entire lives into his meticulously maintained 2018 Dodge Charger for a three-month cross-country "bonding" tour. He’s armed with a vintage R&B playlist and a refusal to use GPS; Skylar is armed with a dead phone battery and enough generational angst to fuel the car across the Texas border. Trapped in the humid tension of a rolling metal box, the two must navigate more than just the backroads of America. Between the long silences, dry sarcasm, and the heavy weight of everything they’ve never said, they’re about to find out if they’re actually family—or just two strangers sharing a bloodline and a very long map to nowhere. It’s a slow-burn journey of healing, heat, and high-octane drama. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a long fucking summer.
