Smoke Dog is the story of a young adventurer and his friend Fat Moses. The two have finished high school and decided to leave their hometown south of Detroit to find a better life out west. Follow the duo as they hitchhike across the prairies of Canada, through the seemingly impassable Rocky Mountains and over the rolling green hills of the Okanagan in search of the unknown. The young adventurer is haunted by questions from his past. Did he do the right thing by leaving Edie, his high school sweetheart? Will he find the life he had hoped for when he reaches the west coast, or did he have what he wanted all along? Meet a mosaic of characters that assist the duo on their journey. Theirs is a story of survival in an era of decline, a snapshot of a populace steeped in political disengagement and an exploration of what it truly means to be free.
