Dan Burke has been a part of the grinding consumerist machine for his entire life, but after an inspiring conversation with his near-death grandfather Dan decides that his life is missing purpose and he sets out to find it.
Born in Barrie, Ontario, Dan has spent all his life living in Toronto’s bedroom. Dan has never made a difficult decision, and those around him have scripted his entire life. A general sense of contentment is all that he has ever known. His relationships with his family, friends, and girlfriend exist without reflection and without question. Despite his comfort, though, Dan has never truly known happiness.
That is, until Dan’s grandfather, whose near-fatal heart attack has left him hospitalized, challenges him to fight for purpose and individuality in his life. Dan accepts the challenge, but at the cost of his job, his relationships, and his comfortable existence. From this somber beginning, Dan takes up a backpack and heads out onto the road less travelled. From Amsterdam to Mumbai to Incheon, Dan’s journey is fuelled by his need for something new, challenging, and deeply personal. Dan sets out to illuminate the dark corners that he has always hid from by shining a light on his comfortable ignorance.
