Tramps Like Us

Abused by his father and stifled by closeted life as a teenager in Kansas City, Joe, the wide-eyed narrator of 'Tramps Like Us', graduates from high school in 1974 and hits the road hitchhiking. But it isn't until he reunites with Ali, his hometown's other queer outcast, that Joe finds a partner in crime. When the two of them finally wash up in New Orleans, they discover a hedonistic paradise of sex, drugs, and music, a world that only expands when they move to San Francisco in 1979.
