What’s the price of chasing a dream?
The year is 2015 and Mike Morrison is a self-described “square peg.” Every facet of his life has a kind of perforation in it, as though he’s ready to tear it all off and throw it away for a dream. He gets the chance to do that when, after searching obsessively for years, he locates the real-life setting of a recurring childhood dream.
Mike gets more than he bargained for when he steps into the dream and becomes trapped in a child’s body in 1967. Once he adjusts to his new reality, he hops a freight train and sets out on a boy’s adventure to points unknown. Most of the people Mike meets along the way help him out and try to convince him to go home.
But Mike’s been running away all of his life. Not until he’s sunk into despair from the dangerous, hand-to-mouth lifestyle he’s chosen will he finally face his inner demons.
Will he find his way back to adulthood in 2015 as a changed man? Or is he forever trapped in his childish fantasies?
