Jackie & Ryan

Nomadic musician Ryan ends up in remote Ogden, Utah, hoping to visit his friend and fellow musician and nomad, Cowboy. Meeting with Cowboy's brother, they busk in town, where he briefly meets Jackie Laurel, who recognizes their talent. Noticing they only do cover songs, she questions why they do not have their own message.

Ryan goes to Virginia's mom's looking for Cowboy, but discovers his friend left his partner and infant son Henry for the open road. Virginia explains that he was unhappy with a sedentary life, so he was angry all the time. Cowboy is also a modern-day, nomadic train hopper like Ryan.
