\nIn June\, 1954\, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebr aska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fift een months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone\, his father recently deceased\, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank\, Emm ett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother\, Billy\, and hea d to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away\, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have h idden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car.
