1967, California. Lee Clarke, a well-mannered twenty-three-year-old student, is expelled from his college amid a brawl. Soon after, he receives his draft call during the Vietnam War, forcing him into a life-changing choice: he leaves the country and his girlfriend behind to flee to Canada.
Through a job with an auto-delivery service, Lee drives a new Jaguar across the United States. During his trip, he visits his relatives in different cities: his father, an alcoholic veteran of World War II; his mother, involved in a chaotic relationship with her sick sister; his embittered brother Harry; and his sister Grace, a young nurse-in-training with her own romantic entanglements.
As Lee travels across the country, he grapples with the consequences of his decision to leave and what it means for his future.
