Three teenagers and an old man on the way to Memphis, Tennessee in a stolen car. With an urn containing: Evelyn, old Henry’s beloved late wife, who should finally get to know Graceland, the estate of Elvis Presley.

Kill drunk drivers and get revenge

Henry isn’t the only one who has lost someone. Will mourns his little brother, Sloane mourns her father, both of whom died of cancer. Asher, the first-person narrator and the driving force behind the wild trip, lost his mother because a drunk man lost his Semi-trailer rammed into her car. He lives in Tennessee, and Asher will kill him, take revenge, and numb the guilt. He doesn’t tell the others, who also keep quiet about their very own reasons for going along.

They found each other in mourning groups, but Henry did so by accident. Asher’s father had enrolled his son in the wrong group, the one for old people. When it comes to young people, Asher, Will and Sloane don’t give each other anything and remember each other through theirs hardnesshow similar they are in their grief, how well they can empathize with how the others are feeling – something that hardly any outsider can do.

Dancing with the urn on the lawn at Graceland

When Henry dances across the lawn of Graceland with Evelyns in the urn, Will ceaselessly Søren Kierkegaard and Oprah Winfrey quoted, Sloane sneaks into her sisters’ rooms every night to see if they are still breathing, and Asher stands in front of the truck driver with the baseball bat and doesn’t know whether he should strike – then mourners can see themselves in it and non- Grieving people get an idea of why good advice and behavior analysis are not in vogue and why romance is not at all out of place.
