Amateur boxer Don Gordon quits the ring after his latest knockout and learning that his sister has died of a drug overdose. When he finds out she gave all of her money to her junkie boyfriend, he sets out to get it back by hitchhiking across California. Along the way he is approached by a young girl who has been abandoned by her alcoholic father and is living in a nearby cave. Gordon reluctantly buys her food and agrees to take her to LA to live with an aunt. He soon regrets the decision and spends most of the movie trying to get rid of her. Eventually they arrive in LA and he has a memorable confrontation with the junkie while she has one with her father in a bar. Low budget, indie production is well acted, but ultimately lacks the necessary grit given the subject matter.
