From seedy European cities to a hippie commune, Aunt Augusta drags Henry along on her madcap escapades, whether he likes it or not. As they evade shady characters and outrun the law, Henry is shocked but ultimately charmed by his aunt's joie de vivre, finding an exhilarating freedom he never knew he craved.
