Five years ago, after the death of her mother and sisters, Ella (AKA Coyote) and her father “Rodeo” have been traveling on a converted school bus as their home. The two are just traveling aimlessly and going wherever they please. Then Coyote finds out some news from her grandmother that makes her want to go back home. Coyote knows that Rodeo will never drive her back home to find a treasure box she and her sisters buried in a local park before it is destroyed in construction so she tries to trick him into driving in that direction. They meet lots of new characters along the way and the tale takes lots of turns.
