He becomes the leader of an urban demolition derby called Party Crashing. On appointed nights participants recognize one another by designated car markings and then stalk and crash into each other. Rant Casey will die a spectacular highway death, after which his friends gather testimony needed to build an oral history of his short, violent life.
