A young widower sidesteps grief, loss, and familial dysfunction when he steals his wife's ashes and sets off on an impulsive odyssey through America's heartland to find something he'd lost long before her death.
As a college professor journeys to Chicago to scatter his late wife's ashes, he encounters characters ranging from the eccentric to the deeply eccentric. This is a wonderfully weird and decidedly offbeat gem about a romance that cannot be stopped or silenced, even by death. - Three stars
