Lonely days in his pickup truck and sleepless nights in unfamiliar beds have taken their toll on a middle-aged site-safety inspector. Willfully denying the decline of both his body and personal life, he moves among Highway 16's expansive industrial complexes. Kevan Funk's contemplative character portrait mirrors a forever-altered northern landscape hurtling toward irreversible damage.
