Jeune hippie libre et indépendant, David erre dans une société mercantile qui ne respecte plus ses propres valeurs. Afin de ne pas s'enraciner, il a pris pour habitude de voyager sans véritable but, sur sa moto, à travers tout le pays. Une nuit, il s'arrête afin de porter secours à un quidam qui s'avère être un riche homme d'affaires. Ce dernier, même s'il accepte son aide, lui fait la morale à propos de convictions dénuées de propositions et d'alternatives sociétales, qu'il juge somme toute immatures. Après que sa roue ait été changée, l'homme repart. Alors qu'il constate qu'un pneu de sa moto est crevé, David est témoin de la mort de l'inconnu qui s'est écrasé contre un arbre. Le motard n'a pas d'autre choix que de prendre la fuite.
