Fifteen-year-old Maxwell Stone has been surviving and thriving in the tough part of Wast Vancouver by being smart and fast.
But when a drug deal goes wrong, Max suddenly finds himself on the run from both the bad guys and the cops.
Desperate to escape, Max impulsively decides to hop on a moving freight train.
His first attempt to climb aboard fails, but at the last second a hand reaches down and pulls him in.
Joseph has been riding the rails for years, and his tales inspire Max to take a journey to the last place he ever expected to go.
