Life for a single mother with six kids, no job and no place to live might be enough to break almost anyone's spirit. But for a proud and resiliant woman like Frances Lacey (Bates), it's both a challenge she embraces and a battle she refuses to lose.
Fed up with her supervisor's harassment, her oldest son's (Furlong) increasing delinquency and all of Los Angeles, she packs her kids into a rundown Plymouth and heads east. To some, Frances may look like a woman bound for nowhere ... but this is one tough lady who's definitely got a destination - the American dream.
