Book Overview
In fleeing the violent past, the future may hold second chances, the finding of family, and the healing of wounds through the power of love.
Recently paroled, heroic but rootless, Neal Carver's dream road trip goes spectacularly wrong when he wins a poker game and his prized motorcycle is stolen by a murderous couple. Hellbent to regain it, he's struck by lightning while crossing the badlands. After recovering, he's now unexpectedly burdened with Jed, an autistic boy with a strange connection to electricity. With malign forces in pursuit, Neal and Jed arrive at the ranch of Simone, a solitary young woman obsessed with completing a monumental piece of land art, even at the expense of her own life. Set against a rugged landscape and the thunderstorms of late summer, these three outsiders will unite for survival, and come to understand through a boy who sees what others cannot, how the unseen current that runs through the world has wired their lives together.
