An adaption of YA novel "The Distance From Me to You" which starts out as a romance story but quickly becomes a thriller when two teens, who meet and fall in love, treacherous Appalachian Trail. Recent high school grad McKenna, 17, is determined to hike the entire trail, from Maine to Georgia, even when her best friend Courtney backs out of their trip. Everyone underestimates McKenna's ability to complete the journey, and she is determined to prove them wrong -- even if it means going it alone. Meanwhile, Sam is on the same trail, hiking neck and neck with McKenna and escaping an abusive family. They fall in love and when their punch-drunk love leads them off the trail, McKenna has to persevere in a way she never thought possible to beat the odds and save both their lives.
