A multigenerational road-trip drama about family secrets and reconciliation, balancing melancholy introspection with the warmth of unexpected bonding.

A tale of four generations of men, all of whom have had their offspring at a young age: a great-grandfather, a grandfather, a father in his twenties and a son who is about 7 years old. When the oldest member passes away, the trio heads out on the road together in the Southwest to search out an old family secret that connects to their past.
