Jimmy Breedlove has one goal: To escape his dead-end job, and unfulfilling relationship, for a fresh start far from his home in New Orleans. During a cross-country trip to deliver a friend's car to California, with the unexpected addition of sexy, free-spirited Sarah Rainbird, Jimmy's highway odyssey takes him through a series of increasingly unpredictable, offbeat, and dangerous situations.
Set in the early 1990s, Hothouse Gods deftly captures the pre-millennial restlessness of a generation looking for more out of life than a faceless job and a safe, pre-planned existence. Take a road trip back to a time before smart phones and social networks marked our every move, when a person could still get lost in America.
