I have put this on the site. The synopsis is below. Alan.
Tooling across the American southwest in their giant Winnebago, Max and his
nephew, Owen, seem harmless enough, the actorly old fellow spouting
Shakespeare like a faucet while his young charge trots him through select
tourist destinations along the road. But appearances, as you might imagine,
can be deceiving.
Old Max is actually a master thief, and young Owen's summer vacation is his
careful apprenticeship in a life of crime. Pulling heists is scary enough,
but ominous signs point to the alarming fact that The Subtractors are on
their tail, criminal bogeymen who stop at nothing to steal from other
thieves. The road trip soon turns into a chase, by turns comic and
horrifying. The most disturbing twist: Owen's slow realization that the
person he loves most in the world is the one who can do him the most harm.
