Young Punkin Hall and his two buddies become runaways in the 1950s and hop a freight train to pursue their dream of going to California and starting a new life. Their adventure is interrupted by two AWOL Marines and then shared with the two deserters who are seeking the same goal. A bond is developed among the five fugitives as they experience good and troubling circumstances on their path to freedom.Punkin Hall represents a spiritual influx of new human consciousness that would become the foundation of the 1960's movement toward equality for all citizens of the world. Punkin is determined to test his wit away from the confines of his parent's order. Much of what occurs establishes his beliefs and behavior for years to come.Many children born since have displayed behavior with a more spiritual consciousness, an awakening that transcends emotional reaction to life. For those who have shifted from emotional to self-realization in their perception of reality, it is in the natural progression of universal law that the third level of human consciousness, spiritual awakening, is inevitable.
