A spiraling dad reunites with his morally slippery friend and finds that true friendship isn't always so friendly.

Benny Klein is going through a rough patch. His marriage crumbling, his career stalled, he's had some bad days. But things are looking up, at least for one weekend, when his dear friend Pep Pelletier visits-carrying two totes packed with good food and fine wine. Just before hitting the road, however, Pep decides to bring along his daughter, Frances. That's when the weekend takes a turn. A story of middle age, youthful mojo, and misplaced ladles, Spark Wheel proves once and for all that you're only as old as you feel. And look. And act.
