Summary

Thomas, a young native Indian man, is a nerd on his reservation, wearing oversize glasses and telling everyone stories no one wants to hear. His parents died in a fire in 1976, and Thomas was saved by Arnold. Arnold soon left his family (and his tough son Victor), and Victor hasn't seen his father for 10 years. When Victor hears Arnold has died, Thomas offers him the money to pay for the trip to get Arnold's remains, but only if Thomas can go with him. Thomas and Victor hit the road together.
