It's summer... A time for Lizzy Seabrook, a headstrong 13 year old to cavort with her girlfriends and catch a few 'rays'. The last thing she expects when she takes her dog for a walk in the woods is to encounter Victor Trenton, a deranged recluse, hiding from the law. The Ragman is the story of a young girl's attempts to survive 'on the run' with a murderous, psychotic man, and the strange alliance she forms with the mysterious psychic Celia Damson, in an effort to reunite her with her mother.
