Seventeen-year-old Jake Anastos just got the chance of a lifetime-an audition to open for his favorite band. With his two best friends, Gage and Marcy, and new drummer, Bran, the band leaves Atlanta determined to make their dreams a reality. But the trip to Portland is a long one, and secrets loom, threatening to tear them apart long before they reach their destination.
Gage McLeod has been searching for the PERFECT MOMENT to confess his feelings for his best friend, Jake. But he just can't seem to find it. With the end of summer looming, Gage has to make a choice: Risk it all by telling Jake how he feels or accept the fact that sometimes we don't always get what we want.
Two weeks on the road is enough to turn even the best of friends into enemies. Still, armed with only an instrument stuffed mini-van, a map of roadside attractions, and enough junk food to feed an army, four teens set out to make their dreams a reality while navigating the potholes (both literal and figurative) of life. Can they make it back to Atlanta with their dreams and relationships intact, or will they learn not everyone gets that ONE PERFECT MOMENT?
