Movie Story : Ten-year-old Jo passes her days along the Shenandoah River with her closest friend, Selma, fishing and collecting scrap metal to get by. When her drug-addicted stepfather dies, Jo makes a bold choice: with Selma beside her, she disposes of the body, takes his car, and heads west. Her destination is Los Angeles, where she hopes to find the biological father she has never known, a celebrated folk musician.
