Overview

When drifter-mechanic Rhett Moore rolls into Winslow, Arizona, in 2025, he's haunted by memories that aren't his-images of a crash on Route 66 and a woman whispering his name as Stephen. At the Standin' on the Corner Park, a ghost of grief stirs something deep inside him. Drawn to local teacher and genealogist Abigail Martinez, Rhett joins her search through archives, pawn slips, and junkyards, uncovering a half-century-old cover-up: the death of Stephen Carter, a Vietnam vet killed in 1970 by reckless heir Rick Jamison and buried by his powerful father. As Rhett's ""mechanic's ear"" for engines awakens echoes of Stephen's final night, clues align-letters in Sedona, a mangled bumper at Twin Arrows, a dying senator's confession. The investigation ignites romance, danger, and redemption; dementia-stricken GiGi (Stephen's lost fiancée) becomes a fragile bridge between past and present. From dusty diners to desert ruins, truth forces its way back into the light. Route 66 remembers-and through Rhett and Abigail's love, Stephen Carter finally makes it home.
