Polly, Moho, and Piter haven't seen each other in years. Now they've piled into a car for a loooong journey to a mysterious cross marked on a map. All their old personality quirks and conflicts are resurrected with new wrinkles as this surreal reunion gets underway. Up ahead are car chases, alcohol, roadside motels, banjo-playing thugs, a ship graveyard, violence, sensual tension, and, of course, a monkey! The captivating first graphic novel from internationally renowned cartoonist lvaro Ortiz is an explosive mix of emotional road movie and hooligan thriller in which nothing is what it seems.
