Lewinski has run away from his foster home because of abuse. He had spent
most of his life in the children's home so had looked forward to living
in a real home. Unfortunately, the Bentley's 18 year old son beat Peter
up and threatened to kill him. Peter hitchhiked to Cypress Corners, Florida
and met up with some kids who are into motorcycle racing. The kids want
Peter to join them in stealing parts. Peter refuses and is lucky enough
to find a rider who invites Peter to stay with him in exchange for work
on his motorcycle. Will Peter finally find the home he is longing for or
will trouble follow him? |
