On Our Way Back | Ongoing Draft
Meryl, 30, has been now three years miles away from her hometown - Sylverbridge - working as an emergency doctor. One day, she is announced her brother's death through phone call and it made a wreck of her. Back home for the funeral, she dove back to the shared memories with her brother, filled with regret and nostalgia.
Days after the burial, she now has to go back to her previous life where patients and sleepless nights were awaiting her. The idea doesn't excite her that much but she feels the strong need to leave Sylverbridge and the sooner, the better. That's when the wildest idea stroke her mind: travelling 580 miles back to Northtown - her working town - by renting a car and a private driver.
Tobey is 35 and has worked as driver for years. Life hasn't always been kind to him and he's got his own demons always lurking inside and out like starving vultures - uncertainties, fear, anger, sadness. The fact is, Tobey is an extremely emotionally unstable man trying his best to keep his inner peace safe - or should we say, what's left of it.
And then one day, he met Meryl. The annoying passenger he's gonna have to spend the longest 72 hours with from Sylverbridge to Northtown.
What they have in common?
This endless road that only seemed to lead them nowhere else but to sad realities that the world denies to protect itself from emotional chaos.
From random strangers to acquaintances, from disagreement to understanding, from silence to laughers, from emptiness to feelings, this very same endless road will bind them in a way none of them ever expected.
