A small town. A happy couple. An accountant with a grudge. A corporate deal-maker on the prowl. An unexplored portal to nobody-knows-where. If Beckman Spiers thought life and love had been all figured out when he arrived in Sunrise, met Lolita Milan, and changed his career, he's about to find out things aren't that easy. This quirky town has a secret, and Lolita's ex-boyfriend has a scheme that threatens to scupper Beckman's new job, destroy Lolita's business ambitions, and drive a wedge between them. The only way out may be to gamble everything - even their own lives. The sequel to the original, "laugh out loud funny" comedy-drama "Tow Away Zone" is a dramatic comedy caper fuelled by coffee, friendships and switchbacks aplenty. Beckman and Lolita, in the midst of planning both a marriage and a corporate merger, tangle with an old adversary and discover Sunrise's even more peculiar secret. In a town where everyone is friendly and secrets are rare, they must make new friends, deal with their own unspoken words, and rescue their futures by gambling everything, including themselves.
