After three tours in Iraq, Dave Cartwright has come home incapable of connecting to the people and the place that once defined him. His love for his daughter, Bella, is the only thing keeping him going. He makes a dramatic decision: take Bella to live in a cave in the wilderness. So begins a story of a father and daughter attempting to cope with a harsh environment. A timeless odyssey unfolds, both as a meditation on the perils of isolation and an exploration of humans' indelible struggle to survive.
