Relive the troubled rise and fall of Beat Generation icon Jack Kerouac on a turbulent ride through California, narrated by Norman Reedus and starring tragically poignant folk hero FENCES. The Boston-born intellectual underdog, a crooning blend of Will Hunting & Kerouac himself, FENCES sets off from Venice Beach through Big Sur, San Francisco, Napa Valley and beyond, following footprints and riddles left in never-before-seen Kerouac poems, writing and recording songs in roadside motels and railyards along the way. Love, loss, humor, connection, trial and error, and inescapable change all combust in the bottled lightning that is Destination Angels.
