Jim Stark is 17 and at odds with his parents. Soon after the family moves to LA, he takes part in a game of chicken that results in his challenger’s death. When the other boy’s gang tries to exact revenge, Jim, a neighbor’s daughter, and another friend hit the road, united by a series of tragic events and the alienation they feel toward their families and society as a whole.
