Synopsis
Struggling San Diego actress Julia Bradshaw is startled when a postcard arrives from Mark, an old boyfriend in Spokane, asking her to come north so they can marry. Leaving behind her unsettled life, Julia begins a hitchhiking journey across the American West. Encounters with eccentric strangers, old friends, and romantic possibilities gradually force her to question whether Mark - or anyone else - is her destination.
