Without a map, nineteen-year-old Jake Ducey leaves behind a drug-filled life and a college basketball scholarship to wander the world and prove we can find our dreams by following our heart. On the outskirts of civilisation, often uncertain, without money and near death, he finds that everything he was seeking in the world was within him the whole time. Journeying from Guatemala to Australia, Indonesia to Thailand, and ending with fourteen days of silent meditation, he shows that our destiny is in reach if we only look within ourselves first.
