Description

John has spent his life fixing things.

Roads. Machines. Businesses. Other people's problems.

But as his fiftieth birthday approaches, the things he cannot fix are becoming impossible to ignore: a failed business, a strained marriage, an aging father, and the uncomfortable suspicion that the life he worked so hard to build has somehow passed him by.

Then Jack arrives with a plan.

Indian Motorcycles. Five states. A thousand miles. No real schedule-and only two pairs of underwear.

John believes in tools, responsibility, hotel reservations, and making it home in one piece.

Jack believes in songs, signs, strange women, bad ideas, and going wherever the road leads.

They have spent a lifetime arguing, building, failing, laughing, and dragging each other through adventures neither could have survived alone.

As the miles accumulate, the road begins pulling old memories loose. What starts as a birthday ride becomes a reckoning with friendship, fatherhood, marriage, failure, addiction, and the quiet, private funerals held for dreams that die.

Funny, profane, and unexpectedly tender, Rub Some Wind on It is a story about the weight men carry, the lives they thought they would have, and what can still be found when they finally stop long enough to look.

Because sometimes the road doesn't take you away from your life.

Sometimes it shows you the way home.
