Hollis, a wounded bus passenger, lurches toward town as a meddling stranger on a roadside fender offers help. The tense ride overlaps with Hollis’s drive to reach Mr. Sanders of Interstate Bus Lines, while a dangerous car pulls away and threatens his chance at the next stop.

Keep Lawn Moist and Proper Watering Guidelines
Keep the newly planted lawn moist at all times with frequent light sprinkling. Use a fine spray to avoid soil compaction. Once established, apply enough water to moisten several inches deep, encouraging deeper root systems and reducing vulnerability to heat or cold. Shallow watering keeps roots near the surface and raises injury risk.
