This movie is the kind of movie that will not only inspire to be true to yourself and your dreams, but it will also lead to some deep thought provoking self evaluation. It's about the journey of a college graduate who needs to go out on his own and find himself, away from the chaos of his family. For him this means exploring the nation, facing his fears, and living off the land. He gives away the last of his savings, dumps his old beaten up car, and takes off backpacking in hopes of reaching Alaska. This story is filled with many life altering friendships that he forms along the way, and many obstacles that help him become a better man. Its a heart breaker though, things don't always go as planned.
