Description
Walter Glass is a fourth--a professional hitchhiker hired to fill incomplete carpools. Since every highway in Detroit requires at least four passengers per car, fourths have become an essential part of the commuting landscape. More than mere place holders, fourths are diversions, entertainment, maybe even therapists. And Walter Glass is very, very good at his job.



Until today.
