California, 1967, a place of increasing public pro California, 1967, a place of increasing public protest against the ongoing Vietnam War and the escalation of U.S involvement. Here we meet Lee Clarke, a small-town boy from Washington State, ejected from his course at UCLA after a violent altercation. His draft deferment is subsequently cancelled and the stricken Lee, unable to face the prospect of military service in Vietnam, decides to escape to Canada. In a wry examination of patriotism, American masculinity and counterculture, Dodge City by Patrick DeWitt, sends Lee on an amphetamine-powered road trip, as he drops in on a clutch of eccentric family members en route to his new life.
