The story

Lion is traveling to Detroit to see a child whom he has never met and make amends with the child's mother, Annie, to whom he has sent all of the money that he had earned while at sea.

While visiting Max's sister in Denver, the pair's antics land them in a prison farm for a month.

Lion is befriended by an inmate named Riley, who eventually tries to sexually assault and physically ravage him.
