Jimmie Lee Durham is just a regular guy with an extraordinarily normal life. His penchant for taking on people as projects leads him to one man, Benny Cruse, who will challenge his moral code in a major way. Jimmie reaches out to his brother, Cotton, who brings his own secrets into Jimmie's simple life. In the process, Jimmie learns a lot about himself. Injecting himself into the life of Benny Cruse forces Jimmie to lie, keep secrets, and live a covert life that is very uncomfortable. It's all for something greater, though, so Jimmie has to find a way to achieve that greater good without losing himself. Jimmie, Cotton, and Benny must take the journey of a lifetime. The physical trip is challenging enough, but the mental and emotional pilgrimage is what truly changes each one of them.
