Fifteen-year-old Joe is stuck, unable to cope with the loss of her mother and the overwhelming need of her father to connect. Instead, she drowns herself in her work, shutting out the world. When her older brother secretly gets accepted into college without telling her, Joe is forced to rethink her priorities and reevaluate what truly matters in her life. On a whim, Joe decides to hike the California coast as a summer pilgrimage. To her surprise, her clueless and well-meaning father insists on joining her, turning her personal journey into the most dysfunctional father-daughter road trip imaginable. Together, they navigate the wild beauty of the California coastline and confront the emotional challenges they’ve both been avoiding. Along the way, Joe and her dad discover the power of love, healing and learning to let go.
