Throughout history the wilderness has been a place full of potential. Potential for discovery, potential for dreams, and a vast potential for loneliness. In nature, people can often discover parts of themselves they haven't seen before.
In these five stories a cast of characters are traveling through the American West. Some of them live there, some have come for a short stay. Each leave with a new sense of self, and some with a possibility that they hadn't dared hope for before.
