Roy est encore un enfant lorsque son père, James Fenn, dentiste et pêcheur professionnel raté, se suicide d'une balle dans la tête. Tout au long de sa vie, Roy vivra avec ce drame qui deviendra son obsession, mais aussi une source, douloureuse, d'inspiration. Comment se créent et se transmettent des légendes familiales ? Quelles histoires notre mémoire choisit-elle de garder et sous quelle forme ? A partir de quelques moments intimes éparpillés dans le temps ― faiblesses, infidélités, désirs, contemplations ― se met en place une histoire de perte, d'amour tendre et de retrouvailles imaginaires dans les espaces sauvages de l'Alaska.
