Synopsis: A young New York father can’t make up his mind what to name his young son, feeling that he must first meet his own biological parents before he passes on a family name. Over the strong objectives of his adoptive parents, he sets out along with his reluctant spouse and infant son on a cross-country odyssey to discover his roots. The trek is filled with unexpected encounters and surprises, and his relationship with his wife markedly deteriorates along the way. The scattered nature of the journey so alarms his folks back home that they too take off on the road in pursuit. The young father’s frantic search for his roots sets off a series of bewildering, touching and zany happenings.
