Från Maine i norr till Monterey i söder följer vi John Steinbeck på en resa genom USA med sin hund Charley. Året är 1960 och Steinbeck, som är medveten om att hans liv snart är till ända, vill se sitt älskade och hatade hemland en sista gång. Skarpsynt iakttar Steinbeck ett land i förändring, utan att ställa en enda fråga. Hans fängslande beskrivningar skiftar mellan komik och melankoli när han rör sig genom det amerikanska samhället och dess skuggsidor.
