LEAVE NO TRACE
Will cannot get the trauma of war out of his head, so he has cut himself and his daughter Tom off from civilization. In a forest near Portland, they live under the sky, with the animals, drink rain water, pick mushrooms, make fires, and are satisfied with each other's company — almost. In her teenage years, Tom is developing a desire to live in different surroundings, with different people. A thoughtless act puts an end to this seemingly idyllic world. Thus begins the search for a new home upon which the demons from Will's past cannot intrude.
