Escape from the Front

Getting divorced and fired from your job don’t usually happen on the same day. But that’s exactly what happened to Will Kraft, a 40-year-old nonconformist teacher and father of two young boys.

Seeking to find solace in the wilderness and map out a new life for himself, Will drives off alone to Montana. Mechanical problems force him to leave the car behind and continue by hitchhiking. That’s when things start to get interesting.

The riotous and ofttimes hilarious journey across the diverse American cultural landscape offers up an unforgettable cast of characters. First and foremost is an enchanting young lady who is determined to bring joy back into Will’s life, something that had been missing in his marriage for years.

He finally arrives in Montana, only to fall into the hands of a shadowy cabal that seeks to use Will to carry out their villainous agenda.
