The Wandering Man

Sixteen-year-old Jack and his friends decide to visit their friend, Jerome Wysanski, who is dying from a rare disorder caused by a brain tumor. The visit and Jerome's subsequent death leave a lasting impression on the group. After Jerome's funeral, they decide to embark on a road trip to celebrate life.

Their journey takes them from Reno to Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, and back again. During their travels, they encounter various odd characters and experience love, loss, close calls, and even death. They meet transvestites, transsexuals, mental patients, and documentary filmmakers. Disease, religion, murder, and suicide attempts test their friendship, culminating in the ultimate decision to either remain together or separate forever.
