In 1960 North Carolina, during and just after Hurricane Donna, a young man enlists the aid of a Cherokee friend to steal the body of his older brother in order to fulfill the promise of an Indian burial. Pursued by the young man's estranged father, a concerned woman acquaintance, and the SBI and local authorities, the boys begin a cross-state journey in a stolen hearse from the Crystal Coast of North Carolina to the Black Mountain Range, the highest mountains east of the Mississippi River.--Publisher's description. |
