Five years. That's how long Coyote and her dad, Rodeo, have lived on the road in an old school bus, criss-crossing the nation. It's also how long ago Coyote lost her mum and two sisters in a car crash. Coyote hasn't been home in all that time, but when she learns that the park in her old neighbourhood is being demolished - the very same park where she, her mum, and her sisters buried a treasured memory box - she devises an elaborate plan to get her dad to drive 3,600 miles back to Washington state in four days, without him realizing it. Along the way, they'll pick up a strange crew of misfit travelers. Lester has a lady love to meet. Salvador and his mum are looking to start over. Val needs a safe place to be herself. And then there's Gladys.
