"A lot of people helped me get to where I am today. You make this journey and you'll get to be where you need to be."

Route 66... a simple road.... a complex journey. Journey of a lifetime? Gifts from the grave? East meets West, poverty meets fortune, love meets hate, truth meets lies. Sweet dreams (and nightmares?) are made of these. 

Which prevails along the Mother Road as the story of one young man's journey shadows another some sixty years later? Young Ethan Clark Nelson III is ordered by legal documents to trace the steps of his grandfather (Ethan Sr.) to deliver personal thank you to those who helped Ethan Sr. make his way via Route 66 to California during the dust bowl migration days.

The only way young Ethan can claim his $128 million inheritance, is to follow exactly the instructions of his dead grandfather. Reluctantly, he agrees to make the trip. His journey begins in a rush to find the people, complete the deliveries and claim his fortune; however, along the way he discovers people with real values, his own truths and lies and the meaning of love and family. 

Can a thirty something millionaire really find his purpose along America's most beloved highway or does Ethan forfeit his inheritance when the ghosts of his past begin to appear? Dream or nightmare? Reality or illusion? You decide.
