The unlikely duo's journey takes them through a realm of eccentric characters, bizarre encounters, and precarious situations. Tolly, a naive and impressionable youth, initially crosses paths with Black Jack, a cunning and resourceful rogue, under unforeseen circumstances. As fate would have it, Tolly is forced to escape from the confines of the juvenile reformatories, which only serves as the catalyst for the pair's unpredictable adventures together.

As their travels continue, Tolly's innocence begins to be tested by the harsh realities of the world around him. Black Jack, sensing his companion's naivety, takes on a more paternal role, guiding Tolly through the complex moral landscape they inhabit. This mentorship serves as a catalyst for Tolly's growth, as he begins to question the nature of right and wrong.
