Phillip - een 10-jarige jongen - en zijn moeder zijn altijd onderweg. Terwijl de andere jongens op traditionele wijze studeren, hoeft de vroegrijpe Phillip niet naar school; De helderheid van de neonlichten van de motels is voldoende om de biologie- en natuurkundeboeken te kunnen lezen die haar moeder haar uitlegt, terwijl ze mannen verleidt in ruil voor hun creditcards om haar zwervende leven te betalen. Maar ondanks de vrijheid die ze genieten, komen ze allebei tot de conclusie dat ze moeten proberen zich ergens te vestigen om een levensstijl te leiden waardoor Phillip vrienden en zelfs een vader kan hebben.
