In June, 1960, Dave White, age 17, loses his summer job to a man with a family. This sets in motion a chain of events that eventually causes Dave to leave home on an odyssey of life. In the spirit of Journey To Shiloh, and The Last Picture Show, Dust In The Wind, is a poignantly written portrayal of a boy's entrance into a world he never knew existed. A world of prejudice and pain, of humiliation, mutilation, and sudden death. A world of hard, tough men, barrooms and mind-grinding work, but also one of love, found and lost.
