BE IT EVER SO HOSTILE... THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME! A straight-shooting, guitar-strumming cowboy known as The Canyon Kid returns home to Dirt Clod, Missouri only to learn that the town's in ruins, a hanging judge wants to add him to his resume and his gal's about to marry a known desperado who is also the sheriff. How's The Canyon Kid going to save the day, let alone croon a few tunes, with a noose around his neck? SONG OF THE CANYON KID is a western comedy romance that will tickle your ribs and warm your heart.

Calvin Wheeler is an American dreamer in a triple threat cage match with his two biggest adversaries-everyday life and himself. His marriage to the woman he believed to be his soul mate is rapidly evaporating before his eyes. The book he's been working on for over a decade is slipping through his fingers as he struggles to complete it. As these pressures grow, Calvin compensates by conjuring up outrageous road rage scenarios in the multiplex of his mind. To make matters even worse, he drives for a living. As his life, job and dreams simultaneously implode, his wild fantasies begin to literally bleed over into reality. Now with a gun in one hand and a steering wheel in the other, this distant runner-up in the human race feels empowered for the very first time. At least our boy's finally found a purpose in life. Red Asphalt tells a violent, tragic tale with darkly humorous touches and pointed social commentary. And the moral to the story? Traffic can be murder...
