Miguel wasn't planning on running away from his group home, but when Mong, this scary, psycho kid asks him, he finally decides to go. After he messed up, his mom won't even talk or look at him, and Miguel really couldn't care less about anything anymore. So what the heck, why not just run away from everything and go to Mexico like Mong wants. His roommate Rondell, huge, black, and illiterate decides to come too.
The three boys get out okay. Miguel even manages to jack $750 from the cash box. But then things go wrong. Mong's cousin drives them north instead of south to the Mexican border. Now they have to travel through most of the state of California. They need to be careful with their stolen money and, most importantly, they have to avoid the cops. Miguel actually welcomes some of the problems. At least it keeps his mind off of what he did. What happened to his family. How his mom hates him now.
But Miguel is about to learn that the old adage is true - you can't run away from your problems. And that crazy as it seems, three unlikely teens may actually become the best of friends, if they can keep out of jail and make it to Mexico.
