Bobby Hank is one of yesteryear's living legends, an autoduellist once known as the Pale Rider. These days he's scraping out a living in the Hampton Roads Dead Zone, chased by old age, regret, and a cannibal horde. If he slips up, his wife Kat stays dead, and he really will be a has-been. But opportunity is knocking . . . Gordon Cory, an old pal from his bygone days of glory, has Bobby in mind for one last ride - the Dead Man's Run, a nationwide road rally ending in the badlands of North Dakota. Enormous cash prize aside, winning would mean a spot for Kat in a Herolutions research program. To start, he'll have just three days to get to Memphis, Tennessee. Can the Pale Rider survive long enough to win big?
