Can Walter Davis succeed when the odds are stacked against him? Walter Davis is young, handsome, intelligent and personable. He is also homeless.

Trying to impress a girlfriend when you have no fixed address proves difficult. And when he's caught in a lie, she shuns his company. Only resilience, ingenuity and his drive to succeed can bring Walter back from the brink of despair.
