Still haunted by the trauma of nearly killing his older brother, Sam Barger faces more challenges when he learns that his girlfriend is pregnant. Bent on doing the right thing, Sam pursues across the western states when her family spirits her away. Naive Sam finds himself on a noble quest fraught with blind alleys and dangerous rabbit holes. The One-Man Iris Davis Fan Club paints an authentic picture of teen pregnancy in the 1960s, a time when pregnancy out wedlock was stigmatized, and young women had little control over their own lives.
