Wellman, about the plight of homeless teenagers during The Great Depression.Eddie and Tommy are high school students and best friends in some small town in Flyover Country.

With their parents unable to feed them, Eddie and Tommy resolve to go out on the road as tramps and look for work.Eddie and Tommy start riding the rails, where they meet Sally, a feisty girl who is in similar straits and is trying to get to Chicago to stay with her aunt.
