A STRANGER QUEST

In the eyes of an artificial mind, the last thirty years of David Rumsey, spent amassing one of the biggest historical maps collections in the world he secretly calls his poem, seem like an unexplainable quest. It will follow him on a road trip confronting with the ghosts of his past and the end inching closer.
