In an attempt to escape a life of loose ends, a reclusive grad school dropout and her ex-boyfriend search for closure on an impromptu camping trip.
When her chemotherapy patient mother urges her to take a vacation from playing nurse, grad school dropout Leigh (Meredith Johnston) invites her old high school boyfriend along on the trip. The two soon find that confronting old wounds during a weekend in the woods is anything but restful.
