The plan was simple. Go to America. Buy a second- hand car. Drive coast-to-coast without giving any money to The Man. What could possibly go wrong? Dismayed by the relentless onslaught of faceless American chains muscling in where local businesses had once thrived, Dave Gorman set off on the ultimate American road trip - in search of the true, independent heart of the US of A.

He would eat cherry pie from local diners, re-fuel at dusty gas stations on remote highways and stock up on supplies from Mom and Pop’s grocery store. At least that was the idea. Gorman’s classic coast- to-coast trip mutates into an odyssey of near-epic proportions and when he finds himself being threatened at gun point in Mississippi, Dave starts to worry about what’s going to break down next. The car...or him?
