An inspirational journey into the heart of Japan and the search for a meaningful life.
Out of work, out of love, drowning in debt, and lost in Japan. In an attempt to be happy, Todd Wassel sets out to walk the 750-mile, 88-temple Shikoku Henro pilgrimage.
Sleeping outside, armed with only a Japanese map, Todd is helped along his way by a wandering ascetic hiding from the Freemasons; naked Yakuza trying to shake him down; a scam artist pilgrim; and a Buddhist monk who hates America but loves beef jerky.
Can he find what he's looking for before the path, or his new friends, break him?
