Overview

The Turnpike is pseudo-memoir about the struggle of a young man to escape the inheritance of the shattered hopes, dreams, and lives of his parents. The young man roams New York City, self-cannibalizing with alcohol and sex until he escapes the city to impossibly collide with his dead father on the great American highway.
