Nobo

It seems like the only two things a poor man can afford to do is work and drink. However, Jordan Bearss, a young drunk and crass carpenter, manages to find a third option: to walk, and walk, like, really, really far. With nothing else to lose and no survival training whatsoever, he heads off into the wild while attempting to cross the entire East Coast on foot using the Appalachian and Florida Trails. Comically and tragically he finds out that for better or for worse there is so much he doesn't know about hiking, people, and life itself, but with the help of a colorful cast of new friends Jordan manages to persist, finding his way along the trail, and along the way, find himself.
