A small group has accepted President Kennedy’s challenge to walk 50 miles in 20 hours. The characters are unique and mostly strangers to one another but as they walk and face unknown threats, they form a community with various gifts to bestow like wish knots along a length of line. The trails and spots are familiar yet not quite as they make their way to the bluff at the End of the World.
