Logline

A touching film about coping with loss, difficult paths that must be taken, and places that can change one’s life.

In her first motion picture as a director, HOUSE OF CARDS lead Robin Wright tells the haunting story of a woman who, after a painful loss, burns all her bridges behind her and begins a new life in the seclusion of the Rocky Mountains. Just as she’s about to succumb to this harsh and unforgiving environment, a local hunter finds her. He rescues the exhausted hermit and teaches her how to hunt and survive on her own in the wilderness. But how to live with the painful memories of her past is something she can only figure out for herself. Robin Wright excels in the role of a woman who has lost her bearings and is searching for a meaning to her existence and a return to a normal life.
