The story follows Gary, a rather nerdy fellow who's setting out on a roadtrip to follow the "Lewis and Clark trail", an apparent tradition in his family as they are descendants from Lewis himself. Of course his military-retired father makes ''very'' clear the importance of the trip and what would happen to Gary if the SUV he's giving him is destroyed. Just as Gary is starting out of the neighborhood, his friend, Mike, a slacker and a playboy, is trying to avoid the wrath of Officer Dick, the father of a girl he just slept with. Gary picks him up and Mike decides to join him on the trip. However thanks to Mike's actions, the SUV gets stolen and stripped, along with their provisions. To apologize, Mike uses some of his money to buy a crappy but working convertible and they decide to blaze their own trail rather than face Gary's father. What follows is oddball misadventures as the duo make their way across the country with no particular destination, all the while being chased by Officer Dick.
