Exploring themes of friendship and redemption, this novel follows the unlikely bond between Sam Thornton, an ex-con and car enthusiast, and Leonard Wright, a young man recovering from addiction and familial expectations. Set in Nashville, their connection deepens as they navigate personal struggles while working at an elite foreign car repair shop. The story delves into class differences, the complexities of hope, and the bittersweet journey of letting go of dreams, all symbolized by a once-classic 1965 Sunbeam Tiger.
