RUMBLE TUMBLE
Even though a midlife crisis just hit Hap Collins like a runaway pickup truck, he’s still got his job as a bouncer at a local club, he knows his best friend, Leonard Pine, will always be there for him, and of course he’s got his main squeeze, ex–Sweet Potato Queen Brett Sawyer. Things go downhill, however, when Brett’s daughter, Tillie, who has been walking on the wrong side of the law—doing drugs and turning tricks—suddenly stands in need of a rescue. It won’t be easy— it never is—but nothing is going to stop Hap and Leonard as they hit the road destined for Hootie Hoot, Oklahoma, to shake things up. And with Hap and Leonard at the wheel, this promises to be a wild ride.
