Beneath the America we think we know lies a people—a nomadic people who live on roads and railroads and the wilderness.
Across deserts, forests, mountains, and plains, legions of modern-day nomads pursue their American dream—freedom from careers, mortgages, and white picket fences.
When British author Richard Grant immigrated to the United States more than 20 years ago, it wasn’t just a country change. He soon finds himself in a world of travelers and American roadside culture that coexists but separates from traditional society. In this film, he is back on a journey with no destination.
Through a series of encounters and unplanned ones, Richard lets himself be guided by his own intuition and experience – and the serendipity along the way. He traveled with individuals and groups, encountering various “tribes” of nomadic peoples while traveling through the deserts of the American Southwest.
