Utopia, Texas tells the story of a remarkable road trip taken by eighteen-year-old Jim Birdwell and his grandmother Rue through a turbulent, troubled America. Their journey to Utopia, Texas, to attend a funeral, takes these two unlikely travelers across the Deep South where they experience first-hand the cultural and racial differences dividing the nation. Along the way, they pick up a young radical running from the law, a saxophone player struggling to cope with the country's legacy of racism, a young woman fleeing the suffocating constraints of her family and a high school teacher turned drug dealer.
