Description
Left alone for days on end, 12-year-old Wyatt Reeves burns down the family house. His uncle, Spade, whisks Wyatt away to safety, but soon sees potential in the boy to earn money in the bare-fist fighting racket. The two travel across America for the next six years, and soon Wyatt develops a sense of who he is--and isn't.
