Nora Adler is haunted by memories of Max. Who was he? A man wishing to connect to his past? A lost soul chasing the impossible dream? An adventurer, a liar, a drunk? While caring for her biracial niece, Bettina, Nora agrees to a summer road trip that includes her mother, Ruth. With few distractions during long hours on the road, they talk. After her lifelong silence, Ruth speaks of her childhood in Nazi Germany and the shocking events of Kristallnacht. Nora talks of her solo wilderness trek to the bush country of Northern Saskatchewan, where she met and fell in love with Max. Encouraged by the others, Bettina confronts her grief and guilt over her mother's death. Their cross-country adventure becomes a voyage of discovery and healing as Nora faces the truth about Max's identity... and her own.
