It's 1959 and Harry Rabbit' Angstrom one time high school sports superstar is going nowhere.
At twenty-six he is trapped in a second-rate existence - stuck with a fragile alcoholic wife
a house full of overflowing ashtrays and discarded glasses a young son and a futile job. With
no way to fix things he resolves to flee from his family and his home in Pennsylvania
beginning a thousand-mile journey that he hopes will free him from his mediocre life. Because
as he knows only too well after you've been first-rate at something no matter what it kind
of takes the kick out of being second-rate'.
