Nathan stared at the items strewn across the floor. Within the disarray, a secret message from his mom surfaced as if it was a beam of hope. He looked at his cousin, Brandon, and they both understood what the moment was – the catalyst for freedom. It was the beginning of a journey to seek new lives.
Forging over the headwaters of the Mississippi River in a canoe, Nathan Mueller, with his three best friends, enacts a scheme to escape The Monster, his abusive Step-Uncle Andrey, who is connected to organized crime.
Taking refuge within the northern ecosystems of the great Mississippi River, the friends travel downriver toward the metropolis of Minneapolis. Their intention is to introduce Nathan to his unknowing father – their mission is to take control of their lives. But Andrey’s partners take notice of the disruption in business and send professional trackers carrying deadly intentions.
Amongst the beauty surrounding the river, forces attempt to fracture the bonds of friendship, exposing truths about who each really is. And when the friends’ solidarity is challenged by the tribulations of the river and persistent ruffians taking chase, all four realize that only together they will have a chance for absolution.
