Never jump on the back of a motorcycle with the devil just because you think he''s Jesus.  Redemption Gray has traveled fifteen hundred miles from home to find happiness-he gained it, made a bold declaration of faith, and immediately found himself stranded on the side of the road next to his father''s totaled car. When Longstoryshort pulled up moments later, he seemed like an answer to a prayer Redemption hadn''t even had time to speak.  From the back of that motorcycle, the world becomes a different place. Dependent on a stranger to help him get home, at first Redemption finds his rescuer fascinating, admirable, and wise. But as the miles pass beneath them, first impressions wear thin, and truth is hard to find.  When Longstoryshort finally shows his true colors, will Redemption have the strength and courage to break free, or will he be trapped in a life of unrestrained evil?
