When Michael Marson announces his engagement to his father, Jacob, he is expecting congratulations, but instead receives the biggest surprise of his life. Jacob Marson has just fulfilled a thirty-year-old pledge to honor any request Iago Salvadore makes of him. That very day, Iago has submitted that request: he would have Michael marry his daughter Olivia.
Though he is initially shocked and indignant, Michael is also intrigued by the depth of his father's commitment. Much to the chagrin of his new fiancee, he places his engagement on hold and begins an oddessey in his vintage Corvette from his home in Virginia, toward Olivia's home in California. On his way, he picks up several messengers in the form of hitchhikers, from a mad prophet to a husband fleeing his wife, that help him realize his greatest fear: Without all the trappings of success and prosperity, he would be nothing...
Olivia, meanwhile, is furious that her father has meddled in her affairs. A victim of sexual abuse, she refuses to acknowledge the need for help from any man. What can her father possibly do to help her confront the demons in her life?
