Arman, a writer blocked by the pressures of unexpected success, follows his girlfriend to the redwood forests of northern California. In this isolated landscape, he develops a friendship with an enigmatic treesitter and is soon caught in the struggle between those who make their living cutting timber and those who risk their lives to preserve nature. Torn between conflicting information and expectations, Arman must reach into his past for the key that will allow him to determine exactly where-and with whom- he stands.
