Uly Quits His Job

Pro tip: Don't quit your job on a work trip when the boss is your ride.

Uly moves from Atlanta to south Georgia to take a new job doing honest work maintaining utility poles.

Rachel, no longer his girlfriend, is done with him. She rejects his on-again, off-again attempts to maintain a long-distance relationship.

He's assigned to a crew that travels to Savannah. On the job hard work isn't the problem, but Uly stomps away in a huff-you know it's the boss's fault.

Jobless, on foot, phone dying, a few dollars from penniless, and suffering in the hot summer heat, Uly buys a ticket for an off-brand bus to Atlanta.

That's when things go from bad to strange.

Uly takes a long detour, embarking on a journey of personal discovery and spiritual growth.

Faith, perseverance, loyalty, and generosity wrestle with fear, injury, humiliation, and Uly's own cluelessness in this contemporary, Southern odyssey.
