Caught between the pull of the crowd and a personal dream, Calloway is placed on a collision course with society. When he quits university and makes a plan to run away, even his best friend seems lost.

For three days, he finds himself in a world of dive bars, sex, poets and runaway teenagers, searching for a guide to show him the way to a meaningful life.

Through Calloway, Joshua Krook has created a classic coming-of-age story, a powerful book that captures what it means to be young, restless and hungry for meaning.
