Now, one year following Nathan’s death, wife, and mother of two, Jolene Garrett, takes her crumbling family to the Morning Star lookout seeking solace through closure–to scatter her husband’s remains. But something far beyond the reach of their wildest imaginings awaits the Garrett family in the Montana wilderness–something more powerful than their anguish and torment. Something that transcends space and time. No telephones. No electricity. No transportation. No escape.

Like how a memory isn’t just nostalgia bait, it’s an inspiration to connect with the world around you. It’s full of scary and depressing things you want to escape from. But when something tries to cut you off from everything, the journey to let it go is universal." -Jake Palermo
