Summary: He's searching for the place that feels like home.

At seventeen he kisses his mothers goodbye and leaves LA for Sydney. After a month with his grandmother, he catches a flight to Seoul-stays a week, moves on. Baghdad. San Tropez. Phuket. London. Glasgow. He lands on his uncle’s couch in Albuquerque.

You got yourself one serious case of wanderlust, kid.

He stares at lines of blue and green; maps of the entire world spread wide across the table of a local diner. Not one inch feels like home.

You won’t find it there. A man sits across from him. I can help.

This stranger named Walter offers him a job and a promise.

Come home, Aaron.
