Three people's search for meaning lead them to Slab City, CA, where they meet and share their stories. Trevor - a lonely widower, Sophie - a fearful foster youth, and JP - an unhappy husband seek answers to questions we all have: "Why are we here? What's the point? Does it get any better? Why keep trying?" Twenty years at the slabs seem to have left Trevor unchanged until he runs into Sophie, an independent foster youth, whose fear of being on her own at 18 years old drives her into a month of hiding and isolation at Slab City. JP, a former slabs resident, now young, under appreciated husband and father joins them on the night of the famous "Slab City Prom", reconnecting with Trevor and meeting Sophie. Their seemingly chance meetings, however, help set them back on course.
