17-year-old Sam embarks on a three-day backpacking trip in the Catskills with her dad, Chris, and his oldest friend, Matt. The two men quickly settle into a brotherly dynamic, airing long-held grievances in front of Sam, a captive audience on the hike. Wise beyond her years, Sam attempts to mediate the dueling egos of the two men, but her frustration reaches a fever pitch when lines are crossed, and her trust is betrayed. As Sam struggles with her dad’s emotional limitations, she is finally ready to break free from her role as the “good one” in the family.
