Textul de pe ultima copertă
When a teen runs away from his father’s mysterious commune, he sets in motion a domino effect that will connect six characters desperate for hope and love, set across the sun-bleached canvas of Los Angeles.
There’s Ren, just out of juvie, who travels to L.A. in search of his mother. Owen and James are teenage twins who live in a desert commune, where their father, a self-proclaimed healer, holds a powerful sway over his disciples. There’s Britt, who shows up at the commune harboring a dark secret. Tony, an unhappy lawyer, finds inspiration from an unlikely source. And there’s Blake, a drifter hiding in the desert, doing his best to fight off his most violent instincts. Their lives will come crashing together in a shocking way that could only happen in this enchanting, dangerous city.
