A dying woman’s wish brings six estranged friends together in the Montana wilderness. Lucy (Missi Pyle) has battled obesity her entire life and with the “little time she has left”, she wants to spend a final weekend together with her college friends like once remembered. Upon arriving, Lucy’s friends soon discover the reality of the situation isn’t what they had expected. On the flipside, Lucy soon realizes her friends are now a far cry from whom she had remembered and that her final wish wasn’t the best of ideas after all. Stripped of modern conveniences and no place to hide on an arduous four-day hike, the winding uphill trail brings to surface everyone’s inner demons and fears, with each member of the group taking something away from the adventure that they could never have imagined. This film has not been rated. Language, brief nudity.
