You'd be surprised at what gets through when everything else is taken away.
Abbie Jowett always has every detail perfectly planned out, including her husband’s upcoming surprise fiftieth birthday party. But when he surprises her instead with news that he’s leaving, she
feels her life unraveling. Already distressed by her son Bobby’s determination to take a gap year in Europe in addition to her father’s failing health, Abbie is immobilized by grief.
Bobby Jowett has dared to take a gap year to really think about his future. His first stop is volunteering at a refugee center in Austria where he meets a beautiful Iranian girl named Rasa. For idealistic
Bobby, it is love at first sight. On the spur of the moment, he invites her to join him in hiking the famed French Camino. But his mother, out of desperation, has also chosen to follow him to France.
Caroline Lefort, a young photojournalist, is writing an article about pilgrims on the Camino. However, she has been like a wandering pilgrim herself for the past ten years, having abandoned her family after a devastating event.
As the lives of these people intersect, they find that the Camino strips them bare, calling each one into deep soul-searching. Against all odds, can they find themselves again?
