In Their Words: “‘K&W’ is about two addict truck drivers in a relationship. One’s a drinker and one’s into heavier stuff. Whatever your poison, it can be easy to settle into self-destructive behavior when you’re traveling all the time and missing home and each other. Theirs is a modern day Romeo and Juliet tale. Boy meets girl and falls in love, but it’s their jobs and habits keeping them apart instead of their families. He assumes the worst about her before she can truly break his heart herself and ends it all.” — Matt Harlan
