Synopsis
Abandoned by his parents, 14-year-old Terry Anders travels, via a car he builds from a kit, from Cleveland to Oregon in search of an uncle he only vaguely remembers. During his journey he meets two Vietnam veterans, Wayne and Waylon, who take him on a freewheeling yet educational tour of the United States. A teenager left on his own travels west in a kit car he built himself, and along the way picks up two Vietnam veterans, who take him on an eye-opening journey.
