In the tiny, almost empty town of Westholme, Louisiana, there are five people struggling to survive under a blue sun. First is Valda James, the fierce, tough girl who ran away every chance she got. Escorted home from Detroit by the police only a week before the sun changed, she now lives with her eyes on the horizon and spends her time in preparation for the journey back. Her best friend, Lala Reynolds, doesn't bother himself with much beyond the area of his town and the three kids he's taken in. But the food is running out and when he smashes the window and breaks in to the last home around in search of more, but finds none, he's forced to expand his horizons and turn to the one resource he didn't want to touch-Valda. With the gift of a red motorcycle and a request for help, both Lala and Valda have new worries. Eventually they have to face one question: How far can you trust the ones you love when you know just how flawed they are?
