Charley Varrick is a small-time crook who outfoxes the mob and makes a desperate run for the Mexican border and safety.

Dexter, an eleven-year-old boy with AIDS, and his friend Erik build a raft and set sail down the Mississippi River, determined to find a New Orleans doctor they believe has a cure. Their journey gives Dexter a chance to experience life as it should be lived and will change both boys' lives forever.
