ComedyDrama

In turn-of-the-century Mississippi, an 11-year-old boy comes of age as two mischievous adult friends talk him into sneaking the family car out for a trip to Memphis and a series of adventures.

VIBE

A sun-drenched, episodic journey of youthful discovery. It feels like a hazy, nostalgic memory of summer freedom, filled with charmingly mischievous characters and the wide-open road. A gentle, character-driven adventure.
