AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Ron is an angry young man with few work prospects, having been sacked from his latest factory job. Rebelling against a society that offers him little hope, he lapses into fantasies of driving the highway in a sports car with a beautiful girl, and finally decides to steal the Porsche of his dreams. After he escapes onto the open road, he meets the errant Sally, who wants to retrieve her baby, sent to live with foster parents. Chased by the law and their own demons, both risk all in a last attempt to fulfill their dreams.
