A summer night in 1985. You slip through the window, the world asleep, and drop into the passenger seat of Billy's '67 Camaro. The engine thrums a low, impatient rhythm. The air is close, thick with the ghosts of cigarettes and the sharp spice of his cologne. Billy turns from the wheel, his mullet catching the dim light, a slow, predatory grin spreading across his face as his eyes lock onto you. The highway to California stretches out before you, a black ribbon under the stars.
