The film focuses on the adventures of two friends, Mike and Scott, two social outcasts. Scott Favor (Keanu Reeves) is a modern-day Prince Hal, a rich kid from an affluent family slumming with street folk as an act of rebellion against his father, the Mayor of Portland. He turns 21 years old in a few days, at which point he will inherit his father’s fortune. His close friend, Mike Waters (River Phoenix), is a gay narcoleptic dreamer prone to lapsing into a deep sleep during times of stress at the most inopportune moments. Mike is the son of a woman he barely remembers, (we only catch glimpses of her through his grainy, Super-8 reminiscences) and dreams of tracking her down. The two develop a strong friendship that is tested by Scott's ambivalence to street life and his forthcoming inheritance, as well as Mike's romantic affection for his companion.
It is a quest, a journey of personal discovery that takes them from the streets of Portland to America's heartland, as symbolized by Idaho, and to Italy in search of Mike's mother.
