A single father and pre-teen daughter are reunited with the woman who once left them, forcing all three to confront their own notions of happiness and whether someone who covets independence so strongly can ever settle down, no matter the cost.--

James is 17 and is pretty sure he is a psychopath. Alyssa, also 17, is the cool and moody new girl at school. The pair make a connection and she persuades him to embark on a road trip in search of her real father.
