Set primarily in post-industrial Detroit, The Galaxie and Other Rides explores the fight for survival in the heartland: a young Marine is attacked by men from his own unit, the daughter of a prostitute struggles to find her sexual identity, and a man plots his own death—half suicide, half protest—by fire when he loses his job at General Motors.

These unpredictable stories each feature a car—as either an indirect part of the plot, as in “The Black Box,” or in some more direct way, as in “Woods”—and this nod to these classic cars is also a nod to a dying way of life.
