"In 1970s Bolivia, a man and his young son are on the run from accolades of a velocity cult hellbent on using their Plymouth Road Runner to unleash a primordial entity known as The Dream. In 1990, a teenage metalhead, whose brother died while drag racing, experiences visions and body transformations after a beating. A hundred years later-after the emergence of The Dream-a girl embarks on a journey across a dystopian wasteland to carry out her father's dying wish. The mystery behind the cult's beliefs and gory rituals unfold across these three time periods. As the world is transfigured into a living apocalypse that is punctuated by spark plugs hanging like fruit from trees, the boundaries that distinguish humanity from machines, natural landscapes from those of the mind, and the realm of the living from that of the dead, are diluted under the intoxicating effect of The Dream"-- Provided by publisher.
