Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage to honor his son s desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn t plan on is the profound impact the journey will have on him and his California Bubble Life. Inexperienced as a trekker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey.

From the unexpected and, often times, amusing experiences along the way, this unlikely quartet of misfits creates an everlasting bond and Tom begins to learn what it means to be a citizen of the world again.
