The Autograph Book

Edward Prynne is a homeless super-commuter who works a menial job at a leasing office. His most prized possession is a velvet autograph book bestowed upon him by his late father. Each page contains the signature of different low profile celebrities from the mid twentieth century. Ever since he was a boy he's vowed to keep the remaining blank page for Jesse James Devonrude; a jazz musician and close friend of Edward's father. Upon hearing that Jesse will be embarking on a final nationwide tour before retiring to a life of privacy, Edward sets out on a trip across the country to fulfill his childhood dream before its too late.
