On The Road With Rodney

Rodney Badgermann is a typical American guy. He is fiftyish. He holds down a steady newspaper job. And he lives an unremarkable life with Barbara, his wife of 30 years, and a Doberman Pinscher named Max. One June day, Rodney's life begins to change. His cousin shows up with news of a possible inheritance. They board an RV and travel from Michigan to Texas to learn more about the inheritance and its rumors of "millions." Along the way, they meet offbeat characters, including a young couple who are "running away from home." Rodney is just Rodney. But like Walter Mitty, he sometimes imagines he leads a more glamorous life. Finally, the inheritance is resolved. Money indeed will change hands. And they are almost ready to return home when Rodney meets a woman who completely enthralls him. Almost on a whim, Rodney, his new flame and his cousin embark on a side trip that will take them across the Southwestern U.S. to Las Vegas. Along the way, Rodney's once unremarkable life undergoes several transformations. And he faces some decisions - will he go home to his former life? Or will he embark on a new life? His final decisions may surprise you.
