An odyssey through time and memory, centered on a place in New Jersey where—from wilderness, and then, later, from a home—love, loss, struggle, hope and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.

After receiving a call about the sudden death of his father who abandoned him as a child, a young immigrant's search for a photograph quickly becomes a dreamy and emotionally turbulent confrontation with his father's complicated legacy.

A short film that follows Wes, a closeted gay man in his early 20's, as he struggles to come to terms with his sexuality and Phil, a deeply religious father in his late 30's, who struggles with his past as a conversion therapist and his son's recent coming out. Wes' plans to hire a prostitute to show him the ropes of homosexuality and Phil's plans to hire a hitman for an assisted suicide are cut short when the two mistake one another for their respective hires at a bar. After realizing their mistake, the pair enter a night of honesty and growth as they find comfort in the anonymity of a stranger-to-stranger connection.
