Locals call it “Circumnavigating the Island”—an arduous journey around Vancouver Island for even the most experienced. But to a dying father, it was the one last adventure he wished to take with his son. Diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer, and against his doctor’s orders, the seventy-five-year-old father and fifty-three-year-old son dip their kayak into the ocean water to begin their last voyage. Relying on the son’s experience as an outdoor hobbyist and past trawler deckhand, the son takes to the paddle while his father helps on—but the more they move forward, the more the son bears witnesses to his father’s turmoil. Often battling the idea of mortality and reminiscing about their past, father and son continue their journey through the often unforgiving environment. When close to calling it quits, they begin to find small blessings, reminding them of why they took to the water. Halfway through their adventure, their plans take a detour when they meet a young kayaker, Sarah, who is on a quest to find herself. The father and son quickly adopt her as one of their own, finding renewed energy to continue their task as their duo becomes three.

Yet, when an unimaginable and unforeseeable event rips them apart, they must remember that inner strength to carry them through.
