As a twelve-year-old escaping a disordered and unhappy home, Travis Hollister left the Midwest to spend a summer with his grandparents in the Deep South. There he met Delia, the love of his life, who, tragically, was beyond his reach for two reasons--she was his aunt and she was sixteen years old. That summer made Travis guilty of crimes discovered and undiscovered. Released from reform school and driven by his need to rejoin the human community, eighteen-year-old Travis returns a stranger to Panama City, Florida, searching for Delia.
