Wendell "Stony" Stoneking is not one to worry. Everyone likes him. His girlfriend is gorgeous and very willing to please - anytime, anywhere. He is the star of his high school football team. And when he graduates, there's a steady job in the gravel quarry waiting for him. Then he meets Robyn, a single mother with a dark past. Suddenly Stony is more bothered than he has been in a long time - not only by the violence Robyn has endured, but by the danger she could put him in. For the first time, Stony reflects on his own life, his broken family and the dizzying notion of a wide-open future. Evocatively set in rural Iowa, "Derailed" is the story of what happens when you open your eyes and start to care enough to risk everything.
