Sixteen-year-old Randy Watson isn't sure if the classmate he beat
to a pulp will survive. Afraid of the consequences, he runs away
from a town in northern British Columbia. Hitchhiking, he criss
crosses the prairies from Alberta to Manitoba, working at
back-breaking, menial jobs -- at a feed mill, a meat packing plant,
on constructions sites and on an oil rig. After years on the road,
he settles down in Vancouver and ends up in Oakalla Prison. After
serving his time, will schooling and a girlfriend help him break
out of this cycle? Or will drugs on the Downtown East Side, another
horrific crime and the courts, decide his fate?
