From Montpelier, Vermont, across the country to Venice, California, Nina Lewis and her mother, Joyce, are always on the move. They own nothing that can't fit in the back of a van and they stay nowhere very long. But as Nina begins to yearn for a more settled life and lasting friendships, Joyce begins to move at a more and more frantic pace. Why? Will Nina ever get the stability she craves? Or will the truth behind Joyce's compulsion to keep moving cause both their lives to spiral out of control?
