年轻的印度男子托马斯是一个书呆子,他戴着超大眼镜,很喜欢跟大家的故事,但是这故事是没有人想听到的。他的父母在1976年的大火中丧生,并托马斯·阿诺德照顾。阿诺德很快就离开了他的家人(包括他严肃的儿子维克多),10年过去维克多还没有见过他的父亲。当维克多听到阿诺德已经去世,托马斯提供他资金让他去取回阿诺德的遗体,但阿诺德强调只有当托马斯和他一起去,他才回去。最后托马斯和维克多上路……Young Indian man Thomas is a nerd in his reservation, wearing oversize glasses and telling everyone stories no-one wants to hear. His parents died in a fire in 1976, and Thomas was saved by Arnold. Arnold soon left his family (and his tough son Victor), and Victor hasn't seen his father for 10 years. When Victor hears Arnold has died, Thomas offers him funding for the trip to get Arnold's remains, but only if Thomas will also go with him. Thomas and Victor hit the road.
