A story of a youthful adventure into the 1960s racially plagued, American South. To escape a second and agonizing year of grade twelve, Skeez and Dickens dream up a weak plan to visit a friend in Florida. With a gas credit-card that Skeeze nicked from his dad's car, an old VW Beetle, and a few dollars in their pocket, they venture off. Police run-ins, jail time, life-threatening encounters and rewarding new friendships fill their days. But, their destination plans change. Will they make it back home? A Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn type adventure, filled with life experiences.
