Sam and Dani are a young couple dealing with the usual ups and downs of a relationship. Things seem fine on the surface, but below a cheerful exterior something is missing. They wander around a small section of coastal Savannah, Georgia with no apparent direction or destination. We are thrown into their story when they are at a breaking point, and we are only given flashes of the tragedy that brought them here. While it is uncertain where they are going, it is clear that Sam does not want them to go back where they came from. He's hurt and can't express it. He's troubled and can't overcome it. Allowing the camera to explore the surroundings through which these characters trod, finding moments of deep, ethereal beauty, this bare-bones indie film is bold, raw and real. As they get deeper and deeper into an emotional wilderness, tensions grow, threatening to explode in a heated argument where both reveal the feelings they've clearly been holding back.
