Young Riley is transported by rail from Boston to the rural Midwest during the Great Depression, hoping to be adopted by a caring family. Unfortunately, she lands in an abusive household and runs away, determined to return to the life she knew back in Boston. The first night on the perilous trek she meets Bo, an idealistic and experienced drifter whom she eventually persuades to guide her expedition home. The eventful journey of the unlikely duo, which culminates on Christmas Day, provides captivating insight into a thriving subculture amid the shadows of the railroad during especially challenging economic times, as well as an unexpected glimpse into the life of a talented, once-hopeful athlete.
