An aging hippie goes on a road trip in search of his long lost family. He meets up with his son (Paris Chong, Tommy's real-life son). Together they go off to see America. A majority of Tommy’s real life family have roles; daughter Rae Dawn and wife Shelby both have lines. Chong's former partner Cheech Marin makes a cameo appearance as a passenger in the back of Far Out Man's truck.
Floyd Sneed, former drummer of the rock group Three Dog Night, made a small cameo in the film as a drummer.
