Ever since he could remember, young Jeff wanted to fly in an airplane more than anything in the world. His mother had told him that if he saved his pennies, they would take a trip together. And here they were, on the first of a series of connecting flights that would take them from Newark all the way to Los Angeles. Best of all, Jeff had planned the entire trip by himself. Jeff's mom was a Grade-B movie actress with a talent for attracting men. In her company everything became an opportunity for adventure, from that strange airline food ... to that suspiciously nervous passenger ... to that beautiful stewardess who stole Jeff's heart. But this was only the beginning. The real surprises lay ahead that night, and in Jeff's future.
