For the second time in his life, seventeen year-old Arien Danner finds himself in another era, only now ripped from a world, an adapted family of free people, and a girl he had truly come to love. 2012 is not at all like 1969. Bethel, New York now lies buried under a blanket of winter, and the legendary Rock concert there has been over for decades. Only the devotion of an old man who waited forty-three years, and the company of a dog stand between Arien and death in the snow. Arien's subsequent adventure takes him on a treacherous hitchhike to Oregon, seeking a grandmother who was once the girl he loved while evading a determined colonel in Army Intelligence who would have him before anyone else.
