Penny Rush has problems. Her marriage is over, shes quit her job, her parents have been missing in the Australian outback for five years and now shes back home in Santa Barbara, dealing with mounting family crises and living out of a borrowed van named The Dog of the North.

The Dog is replete with gingham curtains, wood panelling, a piñata, clunky brakes and difficult steering. Its also Pennys getaway car from the curveballs lifes throwing at her. With an uncertain future ahead of her, could the road shes on lead her back to herself?
