O’Malley’s mate walks into a bar... No, it’s not a joke, his mate is right here in front of him and she needs his help. Why does Hannah come to O’Malley for help? Because her brother, Karl, told her they were best friends in the army. Only they weren’t friends. The two men could hardly stand each other.

As they track Karl over the mountains, they discover he took the pilgrim’s trail, a route taken by those who are seeking a path toward a new future while leaving their past life behind. As they begin to unravel the mystery surrounding his disappearance it becomes clear Karl might not have survived the pilgrim’s trail. Can O’Malley and Hannah work together to bring her brother home?
