Jamie Wyckoff (nickname: Punkzilla) is a fourteen-year-old runaway in Portland, Oregon, when he gets a letter that will change his life. Jamie's older brother has cancer, and he wants to see Jamie one last time before he dies. Jamie boards a bus to Memphis with nothing but a duffel, a notebook, and a talent for attracting trouble.
