Emma Perez-Scott is burned out. After leaving her Seattle home for New York City following her father’s death—abandoning everything and everyone she once held dear—she finds herself unfulfilled, in recovery, and frustrated. Her one bright spot is her husband and lifelong musical collaborator, Ben, though even that relationship is flickering.



As her world in New York crumbles, she learns of her mother Estelle’s death. Called home by her sister Sofi to lend support, Emma sees this as a chance to escape her failing career, leaving for Seattle without Ben. But upon returning, unresolved guilt over her estranged relationship with her mother resurfaces. She realizes her mother had fallen into a deep depression, struggling for years to recover. Now, with Estelle gone, Emma must come to terms with having never been there for her.



Estelle leaves behind only one physical item: a mysterious RV she had traveled the country in alone. With Sofi uninterested in the RV, Emma decides to drive it back to New York, telling Ben that the trip will help her “clear her head.”



On the road, Emma learns that Estelle spent her later years traveling from town to town, aiding people with mental health issues and addictions, much like her own struggles. Inspired, Emma embarks on a journey, retracing her mother’s steps and connecting with the communities Estelle had impacted. Through these people, she rediscovers the mother she remembered from childhood: a strong woman of faith and optimism.



Meeting these people brings Emma a new perspective on life, music, and her potential for healing. In Denver, she visits an AA meeting center that her mother had supported for years. Invited to attend a meeting that evening, Emma—being in recovery herself—accepts and shares a song with the group that was instrumental in her own recovery. The song is recorded, posted online, and goes viral, stunning her New York audience, her manager, and Ben, as it contrasts starkly with the dark image she had crafted in New York. This is the Emma Ben fell in love with.



Emma then reconnects with Ben, who recognizes the catharsis this journey brings her. Rejuvenated, they remotely rekindle their relationship, and together they commit to making meaningful music again, bringing faith back into their lives. While Emma continues her journey, Ben begins rebuilding their band—and brand—back in New York.



Ultimately, Emma’s road trip transforms her unresolved grief and guilt into a path of self-discovery. Honoring her mother’s legacy, she finds her own voice. Recognizing the parallels between Estelle’s life and her own, Emma finds the inspiration she needs to reclaim her life and reconnect with the God, who never abandoned her.
