This film is a powerful and inspirational story about family, friends, and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-changing and complicated world. Tom is an American doctor who comes to France to collect the remains of his adult son killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking the Camino de Santiago, also known as The Way of Saint James. Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son's desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn't expect is the profound impact that the journey will have on him and his "California Bubble Life". Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey, where he meets other pilgrims from around the world, each with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives.
