At Mile 81 on the Maine Turnpike is a boarded-up rest stop where Pete Simmons, along with other high school students, goes to get drunk and get into trouble. He has drunk a whole bottle of vodka when a mud-spattered station wagon veers into the Mile 81 rest area, and the driver's door opens but nobody gets out . . .
