We're all drawn to the same things for different reasons. Nineteen-year-old “Serge” craved the freedom and exploration that travel offered. In 2008, he jumped at the chance to join a friend on an illegal train-hopping adventure to Florida. From that moment on, he was hooked. But his carefree nomadic lifestyle soon led him to cross paths with a coarse train hopping veteran known only as,  "Dirty Mike." Serge and his adventurous friends quickly discovered that Dirty Mike was on a journey of his own—one fueled by much darker and disturbing motives…

Special thanks to Serge Z. for taking the time to talk to us and share his story about his experiences traveling the country.  Written by Trevor Pason, edited and engineered by Scott Ecklein, and executive produced by Michael Ojibway.
