Background:

Vic grew up on a backwoods farm property in southern Pennsylvania, where truth be told her father raised her like the son he never had. From an early age she was taught to be comfortable in the scrub and brush, learning how to hunt and orienteer maps, and how to camp. Her pops was taking her out nearly every weekend to go on camping/hunting/fishing excursions. From the time she could walk, straight through High School, Vic and her pops bonded over deeply over their shared love of the outdoors. So when Vic's father died her senior year, a massive hole was left in her heart.

Before his passing, Vic's pops was planning with her a trip down the Potomac-Heritage trail, which stretched from their part of nowheresville PA, straight down to the Chesapeake bay. Not wanting to have that dream go unfulfilled, despite her father's passing, Vic planned the 20 day trek on her own. It would be her big last hurrah before she applied for University the following year.

The journey down the trail was a somber one, with each mile, with each step only leaving Vic feeling all the more lonely. As the days pressed on, and the further she traveled southeast, Vic felt the love of woods leaving her, as it only too painfully reminded her of her father.

When finally the trail spit her out, Vic found herself in the small coastal town of Deltaville. Her impulsive planning in the first place, coming alone, never accounted for the return journey. With no money, a backpack full of hiking gear, and a heavy heart, Vic had to come up with a plan of how to get back home...

If she'd ever get home, that is...
