Drama147 min

A nearly mute drifter emerges from the Texas desert with no clear memory of who he is or why he vanished four years earlier. Harry Dean Stanton is Travis Henderson, brought back to Los Angeles by his brother Walt, with Dean Stockwell giving Walt a wary steadiness as the family tries to piece Travis back together. As fragments of his past return, Travis tries to reconnect with his young son and track down the wife he left behind, moving through motels, highways, and neon-lit corners of the American Southwest.
