Washed-up history professor Lewis Birch (Oscar & Emmy nominee – but loser – Griffin Dunne) takes his begrudging teenagers Zoe (Madeleine Martin,”Californication”) and Jack (Devon Graye,”Dexter”) on a road trip to a conference in hopes of jumpstarting his career and reconnecting with his kids. But, when Lewis’s estranged father Stanley (Emmy Award-winning Stuart Margolin) goes missing on a Lewis and Clark historical reenactment trek, Lewis is forced to make a family detour. The Birch family find themselves on a journey of discovery and connection as they make their own passage west.
