“Cinematographer Cailin Yatsko has a terrific eye for scenery; everything from the sun-dappled open road to the inside of a movie theater has a gently forbidding quality.” - THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“Cailin Yatsko’s tranquil cinematography majestically captures the vast, sun-baked New Mexico vistas. But that palpable weightlessness doesn’t come at the expense of respect and realism.” - VARIETY

For teenage Nola (Sabrina Carpenter), home is the open road. Her self-reliant father (Steven Ogg) is her anchor in a life of transience. The pair criss-cross the United States in a lovingly refurbished RV, making ends meet through odd jobs while relishing their independence. A shocking rupture, though, casts Nola out on her own. She makes her way to Albuquerque, New Mexico in search of a mother she never knew, only for her motorhome to break down unexpectedly. But after forging a bond with an auto body shop owner (Danny Trejo), Nola senses the possibility of mooring her ship in this storm.

Dimitry George (Ed Asner) was an illustrious senator, a ruthless war hero, a distant father, and a very, very troubled man who died from Parkinson's. Now, all that's left behind is his legacy, his grieving daughter, Sarah (Alice Kremelberg), whose husband has left her, and a large collection of audio tapes that serve to be the basis for his memoir. A long time family friend, Mike Pander (Gregg Mozgala), now an editor for The Times, comes to the estate to transcribe the tapes into a suitable memoir for Dimitry. Amidst the war stories and family tales, Mike discovers a truth buried so deep, neither he nor Sarah were ready for what they found.
