America 1955. For a 16-year-old boy out in the world alone for the first time every day's an education in the hard work and boredom of migrant labor; every day teaches him something more about friendship or hunger or profanity or lust--always lust. He learns how a poker game or hitching a ride can turn deadly. He discovers the secret sadness and generosity to be found on a lonely farm in the middle of nowhere. Then he joins up with a carnival and becomes a grunt running a ride and shilling for the geek show. He's living the hard carny life and beginning to see the world through carny eyes. He's tough.
