Ever since his brother left to serve in Iraq, Teodoro “T” Avila’s life has been in the pits, until he runs into the girl of his dreams and realizes there might be more to life than video games. But when Manny returns home an utterly different person, it’s a bombshell for the Avilas that leaves T shell-shocked. Determined to impress Wendy and in denial of his brother’s condition, T doubles down on his studies, only to be hoodwinked into a road trip by Xochitl. With nothing but the road ahead of them, how much will T and Xo need to sacrifice to help save Manny from himself before it’s too late?
