Having suffered a tragedy, Ben becomes a caregiver to earn money. His first client, Trevor, is a hilarious 18-year-old with muscular dystrophy. One paralyzed emotionally, one paralyzed physically, Ben and Trevor hit the road on a trip into the western states. The folks they collect along the way will help them test their skills for surviving outside their calculated existence. Together, they come to understand the importance of hope and the necessity of true friendship.
A cross-country road trip through the American West provides a sprawling, sun-drenched backdrop for an unlikely bond between a grieving caregiver and a defiant teenager. This bittersweet journey finds humor in the friction of their mismatched lives while finding warmth in the strangers they meet along the way.
