The film centers on Mackenzie
(Purnell), a troubled but daring teenage girl sent to live
with her uncle in Juneau, Alaska.
She longs for her struggling, absent mother, but as her mom's phone
calls become less frequent and her uncle's care is not what it
seems, she must flee. Her only thoughts are to escape her uncle's
grasp and contact her mother somehow, but as she plunges deeper
into the Alaskan interior she is suddenly helplessly alone. A
chance connection with a loner backpacker, Rene Bartlett (Greenwood), proves to be her only
lifeline. As Mackenzie shadows Bartlett across the last frontier,
she thwarts his efforts to cut her loose until Bartlett has no
choice but to help her survive in the wilderness. Against the
backdrop of a spectacular Alaska
landscape, they discover the redemptive power of friendship.
Mackenzie and Bartlett prove to be the unlikely salve for each
other's scars, until the damage Mackenzie carries with her
threatens to destroy her newfound sanctuary. Returning to
civilization, Mackenzie is once again at risk of capture by her
uncle as he hounds with manipulative calls and messages. When
Bartlett finally discovers her alarming secret, he must make a bold
choice to take real responsibility for Mackenzie and help her
escape her traumatic past and return home.
