The year is 1969, and it's only a month after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, when four teenage boys experience an adventure that would change their lives. They agree to challenge themselves by riding their bicycles to a town 15 miles away. The simple bicycle excursion manifests into an endeavor that has more twists than the road itself. Early into the trip, the boys give a hitchhiker a ride. After a few miles the hitchhiker decides to go in a different direction. Before he leaves, he gives one of the boys an object. They come to realize that the object has a historical past along with the man that owned it. Not until 2006 do the boys, now men, unravel the mystery of the object and the hitchhiker they met 37 years earlier.
