Spoilers ahead
Jack Dunne is an amnesiac Vietnam veteran who seems to be living with a heavy shadow of PTSD. He escapes a V.A. mental ward in New York City with a simple, stubborn dream: to start a worm-farming business in Eureka, California. This impulse sets him rolling across the country, a journey that is less about the destination than about the process of remembering, coping, and trying to belong somewhere again.
