Finding a father, finding a son.
Jimmy's doing all right. He's fourteen, lives in Harlem, and is holding his own in a pretty tough world. But things get tougher when Jimmy's father, Crab, shows up. Crab, who disappeared nine years ago, suddenly wants Jimmy to know him.
Crab and Jimmy set off on a trip halfway across the country to visit Crab's old haunts. During the awkward, tense, and scary ride, Jimmy learns about his father and about himself, finding out that while things can't always be fixed, sometimes they can be understood, and maybe even forgiven.
