Joey Shannon is a 40-something alcoholic on the road to nowhere and haunted by his abandoned dream of being a writer. His failure is painfully underscored by the success of P.J., his charismatic brother, who earns international fame as the Kerouac of the nineties. P.J. grew into the man Joey always wanted to be.
