Summary:
Ben is an overworked lawyer who no longer spends time doing the things he loves. Zach is an easy-going guy who enjoys everything he does. He happily spends his days taking care of the elderly at a nursing home. The two have been friends since grade school, but life's choices have drifted them apart. Zach's chance to re-connect comes when a dying patient begs him to find her granddaughter. Zach sees her photo and can't believe that it is Ben's long-time crush, Heather. Missing for seven years, she has gone into the woods to save the environment. Zach talks Ben into taking off time to go find her. The two friends, along with Heather's British cousin, Nigel, head out on the river to see if she is truly alive and living in the wilderness. Along the way, they need to re-connect as friends to overcome many obstacles.
