When he is abruptly fired by Rolling Stone, Steve Erickson suddenly finds himself a "correspondent without portfolio." With a bogus press badge and bogus business cards, armed with moonshine credentials and a surreptitious itinerary of his own making, he decides to keep on driving into America and the last years of the Twentieth Century "on one last rampage through the national asylum, just to make one last observation, one last comment, or even to tell one last lie..." From state to state, from primary to convention, from historic icebound New Hampshire to the psychic desert cul-de-sac of Los Angeles, from the techno-pyramids of Las Vegas to the ancient Indian pyramids of a lost America called Cahokia, buried in the Midwest, among the fellow wanderers and exiles that include Bill Clinton and Bob Dole, Colin Powell and Pat Buchanan, Richard Nixon and Mike Hammer, Frank Sinatra and Scott Fitzgerald, Oliver Stone and Philip K. Dick, Bruce Springsteen and Faulkner's Joe Christmas, Erickson roams the highways of a republic in revolt against itself and in search of its own meaning, until he meets, in a car wreck on a highway outside Chicago, the most nomadic American of all.
