What would you do if death came knocking at your door? And how would you carry on if your life was instantly turned upside down? Johnny Silva, a recovering alcoholic and addict, sets off on a weekend getaway from Pismo Beach to the foothills of Northern California. Upon his arrival in the small town of Pioneer, he's thrust into an encounter with a worn down homeless man, an encounter that forces him to look back at his rocky past as he listens to a tale of woe about a life suddenly launched in a tragic direction.
