Cheyenne (Sean Penn) is a former rock star who at the age of 50 still dresses and puts on make-up the way he did when he was at the height of his career. He lives comfortably in Dublin and lives off royalties. He has not had contact with the family for 30 years, but when his father is about to die, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him in his last hours. Unfortunately, he arrives late. His father lived in Auschwitz during World War II. It is only now, after his father's death, that he understands the true extent of his captivity there. Cheyenne sets out to find his father's persecutor, an ex-Nazi and war criminal, and embarks on a road trip, at his own pace, through the United States.
