Horace (Ace) Hobart has his summer all planned: He and his girlfriend, Raven, will each get a part in a Broadway show, and when they're not busy with rehearsals, they'll hang out with friends in New York.
But Ace's father, Barney Hobart, has a different notion about what this summer will hold. He's decided that this is the summer when he'll "find his bliss" -- he'll head west to trace his roots and learn more about who his parents were and why they placed him in an orphanage shortly after his birth.
When Ace and his dad set out on the road in their beat-up yellow Volkswagen, Ace expects to have a long and boring summer. But ultimately, Ace's road trip leads him to a surprising and unforgettable destination.
