Die boemelaar is in die herfs van sy lewe, toe hy alles waarvoor hy so hard gewerk het, verloor. In die proses besluit hy om te vlug van sy trots en skaamte. Dit is dus onafwendbaar dat hy n boemelaar sou word. Sy maatjie is die grootste deel van sy lewe as n boemelaar saam met hom, maar ook n ander raaiselagtige persoon volg hom tree vir tree. Hartseer, maar ook soms opwinding en vreugde volg hom vandat hy die dag die onbekende betree het. Selfs Uniondale se Spook kruis sy pad. Die boemelaar vertoef veral by Karoo-dorpies waar hy sy kinderjare deurgebring het en vertel dan so van sy wonderlike verhale, soos net 'n Karookind sal verstaan, aan daardie dorpies se kinders. Daar is komiese verhale, maar ook hartseer verhale en verhale wat die hart warm sal laat klop. Uiteindelik het die verlange na sy mense, maar veral na sy kleinkind hom laat terugkeer huis toe. Maar is hy welkom by die huis? The hobo is in the autumn of his life when everything he worked so hard for, is lost. He decides to flee from his pride and shame and inevitably becomes a tramp. His friend is with him for a major part of his life as a tramp but another mysterious person also follows him on his journey. Heartache but also joy follows him on the path into the unknown. Even the Uniondale ghost crosses his path. The tramp spends time at the Karoo towns where he spent his youth and tells his childhood stories to the towns' children. There are comical stories but also tales of heartache and tales that warm the heart. The longing for his family and especially his granddaughter causes him to return home. But is he welcome there?
