Synopsis

Dylan takes his best friends on a trek to find the world’s rarest tree. As they descend into the harsh ravines and canyons, the wilderness closes in on them and they come face to face with haunted pasts, unrequited love and fear of intimacy. These young people learn hard truths about friendship, and find that letting go of the past can have devastating – and liberating – consequences.
