Just when you thought all hope was lost...he walked straight out of history to a Washington D.C street. And he's looking for you.

Two comrades - a road - a quest. It's the oldest plot in the west. Except this time the players are a freelance reporter and a famous ghost, and the road is an Amtrak coach across the U.S.

On a politically charged, overheated autumn afternoon in 2017, one progressive, patriotic freelance reporter is about to encounter her idol—and he needs a favor. It's her hour upon the stage - her last, best chance to stand up for her principles - to insure her name will be inscribed on that Permanent Record in the sky. And now she must decide whether to take the ultimate risk to guide him to a certain California bridge, to fulfill a mission he can't explain.

A magical mixture of scrupulous fact with a dash of fantasy and strong dose of partisan protest stirred in, this slyly satiric genre-bender braids historical events with contemporary American life. It’s a journey in both the literal and metaphorical sense, rolling against the backdrop of a deeply polarized U.S.

Exploring what is remembered, what is forgotten, and who controls the narrative, the story chronicles one citizen’s passage from cynicism to acceptance to a profound sense of faith—with plenty of humor and pathos and a little poetry along the way.
