Adam Farmer pedals his old Raleigh three-speed along Route 31, heading from Monument, Massachusetts to Rutterburg, Vermont. The autumn wind slices through his jacket as he pushes forward, determined to reach his father despite battling claustrophobia, agoraphobia, and an intense fear of dogs. In his possession: a carefully wrapped package and his father's worn woolen cap, its familiar scent providing comfort during this solitary seventy-mile journey. "I wanted to do this raw, without crutches," he explains, having dumped his medication before leaving. At a weathered Texaco station, an elderly attendant helps with directions but grows distant when Adam mentions his destination. "They listen in on your telephone," the old man cautions in a paranoid whisper, foreshadowing darker revelations to come. As Adam cycles through the New England landscape, time becomes strangely fluid. Morning stretches endlessly, yet entire hours vanish without explanation. The further he pedals, the more his grip on reality loosens. His memories begin to blur, taking on dream-like qualities. Each mile brings new questions: Why this urgent need to deliver the package? Why now? And why does his supposedly simple mission feel increasingly like a flight from something he can't-or won't-remember?
