My Own Private Idaho follows Mike Waters, who lives on the street and befriends the somewhat older and streetwise Scott Favor. Waters suffers from narcolepsy and can fall asleep at any moment and in almost any circumstance. Favor comes from a rich family and is rebelling against his own background. They travel together extensively and spend time in Italy. Later in life however, Favor has joined mainstream society and has little time for his old friend.
