Teenage Toby lived with his grandmother. When she died suddenly, arrangements were made for him to spend the summer in Dallas, Texas, with his only living relative, his uncle Mike. While waiting at the bus terminal, he noticed two kids trying to hide from a dirty, unkempt man, who smelled of booze. When the man was out of sight, Toby asked the teenage girl and her younger brother why the man was looking for them. The girl, Cindy, hesitantly explained that he was their step father, he beat their mother who was now in the hospital, and he said he would kill them for calling 911 and turning him in. They were clearly scared and Toby wanted to help if he could.

Toby convinced Cindy and her brother, Tommy, to come with him to Dallas, where he was sure Uncle Mike would know what to do. There was a long wait before their bus departure time, so the three kids ran back to Cindy and Tommy's house where they quickly packed some clothes and found what money they could. Back at the bus terminal they purchased one-way tickets to Dallas, and their Summer of Adventure began.
