After four years of mysterious disappearance, a disheveled, silent man named Travis Henderson emerges from the Texas desert and is reunited with his young son, who has been raised by Travis's brother and sister-in-law. Together, Travis and his son set out across the American Southwest to find the boy's mother, slowly rebuilding their fractured relationship along the way. A meditative and visually stunning road film about memory, loss, identity, and the impossibility of going home.
