Sent to stay with her uncle while her mother is in treatment, 14-year-old Mackenzie is forced to flee as her uncle’s attention turns threatening. Unable to reach her mother and afraid of the authorities, she embarks on a journey across wilderness to find a way back home. As she plunges deeper into Alaska, a chance connection with backpacker Bartlett proves to be her only lifeline. Against the spectacular landscape of Alaska, a tense journey of redemption evolves.
