Where the Map Ends

By Josh Wolstenholm

Five years after a career-ending scandal, disgraced TV host Jack Fallon discovers a half-burned map sent to him by a woman he never met. Rumored to lead to Ningavik--a lost settlement where Russian traders and indigenous people created something worth protecting at any cost--the map offers Jack one last chance at redemption. Documentary filmmaker Maya Ruiz sees Jack's journey as her ticket to professional validation, while wilderness guide Noah Tallman joins reluctantly, seeking answers about his grandfather's disappearance thirty years ago while searching for the same settlement. But they're not the only ones tracking Ningavik. Harrison Welles, a ruthless collector, has dispatched his security chief--Jack's former military colleague Simon Kreele--to ensure nothing stands between him and the settlement's rumored treasures. As the team journeys deeper into the Alaskan wilderness, they discover Ningavik isn't merely a location to be found--it's a relationship that must be earned. The true value isn't in what they might extract, but in how approaching with the right intention transforms them. What began as a quest for discovery becomes a race to protect something far more precious than artifacts: a way of knowing that can only be preserved through relationship rather than possession, through recognition rather than acquisition. Some maps lead to places. Others lead to truths that change everything.
