It uses storytelling and hallucination as themes. It opens as twenty-year-old Jack is incarcerated in a mental hospital. The story traces how Jack got there, beginning with a painful childhood, following cross-country bicycling trips, hitchhiking, hopping freight trains, while sinking into a world of drugs, alcohol and crime. Jack travels to a Poetical Hoohaw, sees the end of a rainbow in Eureka, California, falls in love with an older woman in Santa Fe, New Mexico after living on a commune in Palo Alto, California. He steals gasoline, rides with truckers, and ultimately discovers a Rolls Royce with keys in it on July 5th, 1978 after attending a marijuana smoke-in in Washington, DC the day before.
