Plot Summary:The relentless, free-spirit of On the Road and the Beat Generation is lovingly captured in this overlooked gem. The film chronicles the rocky marriage of Neal and Carolyn Cassad, and their strange friendship with Jack Kerouac (John Heard), set against the backdrop of San Franciscos beatnik culture of the 1950s.
