The second crash. New York City. Jake and Theron have drifted apart, but when they are reunited in the midst of a hurricane, they are both forever changed.
The third crash. Texas. Driving on a lonely highway, Jake finds the oblivion he has always been chasing in one final collision, and Theron is left to grapple with the ghosts of their past.
