Gutter Road

August 1953, Fillmore, California. Some wounds, some windows never close. A gritty, fast-paced ride through dust and decisions. Two men, Connor and Gentry, combat veterans, separated by layers of society. Connor, a common man, left behind in the post-war upward surge. Thomas Gentry, an FBI agent in San Francisco. Each man has a need to help Artie Stamper, a mutual friend, taking different paths while struggling with poles apart personal demons, being pushed toward transformations, punching through lives with the women they've chosen in a shifting American landscape. A rarely told story of men who came from other places, lured by California's promises, falling like raindrops, absorbed in the California dust. Combat veterans. Soldiers who never stopped being soldiers
