At two in the morning, two hundred miles from the nearest town, a touring coach dies on an empty highway. The band expects inconvenience: six hours of bad coffee, old resentments, and the humiliating intimacy of people who have spent too many years pretending that proximity is friendship. Then they find a promoter's body beyond the service road-and discover that the breakdown was arranged.
As dawn approaches, five musicians and their tour manager begin dismantling one another's alibis. A failing marriage, a secret plan to dissolve the band, an old recording credit, and a locked tenor case turn six stranded hours into a courtroom without a judge. Dryly comic and psychologically claustrophobic, Two Hundred Miles of Nothing asks whether people trapped together reveal the truth-or merely invent better versions of themselves.
