Jimmy is left in possession of the letter and he feels compelled to see it delivered for Tom, an unwanted old man who had no one to claim his body. Content to have a new destination to explore, Jimmy agrees to drive Tom all the way to Rattlesnake, but he never imagined that Tom would close his eyes for a nap and never wake up. The hitchhiker, Tom, is headed to the small town of Rattlesnake, intent on hand delivering a letter he’s written to the son that he abandoned so many years ago. Jimmy Dorsett is literally sitting at a crossroads when he spots an old man standing tiredly on the side of the road. He worked, he rested, he survived, he moved on. He’d never questioned the point of his life because he knew there was no point. The open road continues to call, and surely Shane-a strong, proud man with a painful past and a difficult present-deserves better than a lying vagabond who can’t stay put for long. Sparks fly, and when Jimmy’s car gives up the ghost, Shane gets him a job as handyman at the inn.īoth within the community of Rattlesnake and in Shane’s arms, Jimmy finds an unaccustomed peace. The centerpiece of the town is the Rattlesnake Inn, where the bartender is handsome former cowboy Shane Little. On a quest to deliver the letter, Jimmy travels to Rattlesnake, a small town nestled in the foothills of the California Sierras.
Then one cold desert night he picks up a hitchhiker and ends up with something more: a letter from a dying man to the son he hasn’t seen in years. What he does have is a duffel bag, a lot of stories, and a junker car.
A drifter since his teens, Jimmy Dorsett has no home and no hope.
