Anna is an 8 year old first generation German American girl who longs for freedom on the open road like her father, a traveling preacher who would go from town to town preaching the gospel. After a betrayal tears her family apart, she gets the idea in her head that if she only can learn how to drive, everything will be OK and what better way to learn how to drive is on the Disneyland ride Autopia. She convinces her father that they need to go on a summer road trip, from Florida to California to make her dream come true.
