The trip of a lifetime beckons as seventeen-year-old Dylan Bardell leaves a 1970s England to embark on an American road trip. After the shock of New York, he seeks adventure and salvation by bussing, sleeping rough and hitchhiking across the continent trying to make sense of his life. Processing his encounters through the lens of his childhood experiences and the many curious characters he meets, he winds his way across Canada, the mid-west, the Pacific coast and down past LA. Yet in all the carefree rhythms of life on the road there is a shadow of personal tragedy that causes his trip to be dominated by a revenge mission that leads inexorably to a day of reckoning in Texas.
