Sanjay Sudha, an Indian immigrant in his seventies, waits in a New York hospital while observing family interactions and becomes captivated by a news report on TV about a comic he has been searching for since he arrived in America. Despite his son's objections, Sanjay plans a trip to find the comic, and his son Jami reluctantly agrees to join him on a road trip across America. What does it truly mean to be an American in today's society? In a nation so deeply divided into various ideological tribes-ranging from political factions to cultural groups-what factors contribute to this polarization, and how might it serve the interests of powerful financial entities (often referred to in the old golden age comics as 'Banksters?') Why do present day superheros battle Aliens and Monsters and Magical Creatures when they have more than enough Banksters and Gangsters and Corrupt Politicians in their midst? And what has become of the country that once offered Sanjay Sudha a second chance? What values and opportunities are at stake? These are all questions Sanjay aims to answer by pulling his son down from his ivory bank and onto the ground where real issues are festering. Together, father and son traverse America with a bus load of 'cancelled' journalists and musicians to confront the complex tapestry of America and to understand how the issues at hand are are not black-and-white as presented by extremists. Junk science, poverty, corruption, racism and the Banksters who control perception and the American Dream are only some of the issues father and son face.
