Jimmy Heartsock is going AWOL from the army and chasing after his lover Christy in order to propose marriage in a frozen car park. Christy is terrified, not so much that she's going to have a baby, but that if she stays with Jimmy she may end up with two. As the unforgettable lovers drive across America in an ancient Chevy Nova, they ask questions they've never dared ask before, and confront family history, difficult choices, personal failures and the occasional cop in a compelling, funny and gritty drama of love in our time.
