Since second grade Matt and Ryan have shared the bond of speech impediments, weapons, and things that go fast. But as their last days of high school speed by, the two friends find that their go- carts, dirt bikes, and RC cars can’t outrun adulthood.
The story follows two best friends through a rough patch in their relationship. Matt is working hard to become a professional fisherman and finish his senior year of high school. Ryan was recently expelled from Hart High for calling in a bomb threat. As the year winds down, Ryan is running out of options while his best friend Matt is moving on in a different direction.
