After another bad experience at a foster home, in 1936, Bud decides he needs to find his last link to a family, his father. But all he has is a flier with a picture of a man named Herman E. Calloway, which his mother always stared at before she died. Bud Calloway takes what few, but important items he has and hits the road to find out who this man is and what he means to Bud. Along his journey he learns a lot about himself, his family and where he belongs.
