When Harold gets word that his old friend, Queenie, has cancer and is in hospice, he decides he has to deliver a letter to her. He sets out on a 600-mile journey on foot to get to Queenie before it is too late. Along the way, Harold meets many different people who accompany him on his journey. He also confronts his dark past that continues to haunt him. He recalls his marriage before it began to fall apart, and he addresses his feelings of failing as a husband and father. His journey becomes not only physical but spiritual as well.

At the turn of the century, Nathan Walker comes to New York City to take the most dangerous job in the country. A sandhog, he burrows beneath the East River, digging the tunnel that will carry trains from Brooklyn to Manhattan. In the bowels of the riverbed, the sandhogs—black, white, Irish, Italian—dig together, the darkness erasing all differences. Above ground, though, the men keep their distance until a spectacular accident welds a bond between Walker and his fellow sandhogs that will both bless and curse three generations.
