An overheard and misunderstood conversation puts Jared on the run to Canada in search of freedom. Many incomprable and harrowing experiences along the way changed his outlook toward his fellow man. Although saddened by his situation, he is never bitter or resentful. If he is able to reach his goal, Canada, can he live as a truly free man?
