Reckless driving, a smash-up, land Rion Fletcher in the hospital. Faced with the choice of psychiatric treatment or possible jail on charges of drunk and disorderly conduct, striking an officer and resisting arrest, he digs back into the conflicts of the last four days.
Rion examines his changing attitudes, his splintering relationship with his older brother Doug, their problems with girls and the law. Rejecting the values of the "other generation" and thrust into a new adulthood, Rion searches for an answer to his own probing question: "Well, what are you going to do with the whole rest of your life?"
