Dotty, a Christian singer in trouble, believes she’s received a sign from God when she meets James, a man who looks strikingly like Jesus. For Dotty, James is her ride out of town and a chance to reverse her fate. For James, however, the journey has a darker purpose. Broken by the loss of his daughter and after several failed suicide attempts, he is driving cross-country to California to finally end his life.

What follows is an utterly disarming odd-couple love story — not quite a romance, but a connection that grows out of desperation, humour, music, and the long miles between them, while exploring the absurdity and tenderness of survival, faith, and failure in modern America.
