Migrant laborers George and Lennie are dropped miles from their new workplace by a bus driver who deems them unworthy of an unscheduled stop. The symbolism is clear from the outset – itinerant farmworkers have little social hotsell status in the land they sow and harvest for others' financial gain. George is slight and savvy, Lennie a hulking simpleton, and the pair have formed an unlikely friendship. They wander state to state, working on ranches and sleeping rough between jobs until Lennie's childlike naivety inevitably lands him in trouble and they must once again move on.
