A father and son walk alone through burned out America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is he coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing; just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food-and each other.
The Road is the profoundly moving story of a journey. It boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which the father and his son, "each other's world enitre", are sustained by love. Awesome is the totality of its vision, The Road is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: unltimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.
