»Wenn das Herz trüb ist, liegt das oft nur an einer zu dünnen Sohle.« Stephen Graham Der schottische Schriftsteller Stephen Graham war einer der ersten, der dazu aufrief, die Welt zu Fuß zu entdecken – und sich auf unbekannte Wege vorzuwagen. Fernab der Straßen, allein mit sich und der Natur. In seinem Wanderratgeber aus dem Jahr 1926 nimmt er uns mit in eine Zeit, in der viele die Folgen der Industrialisierung schon spürten, doch unsere High-Tech-Welt noch ferne Zukunft war. Seine tiefsinnigen Gedanken und zeitlosen Ausrüstungstipps haben ihn zum Kultautor gemacht – der uns nicht nur verrät, wie wir den Boden unter den Füßen wieder spüren lernen können, sondern uns mit dem besten Proviantpaket gegen den Überdruss unserer Zeit versorgt.

Dekadę później ci sami ludzie stają się tropioną zwierzyną. Spętani więzami dziedzictwa kulturowego, społecznym konwenansem i uwięzieni w bezkresnym krajobrazie muszą oni sami i ich dzieci stawić czoło rozwścieczonemu duchowi Jedyni dobrzy Indianie kreślą obraz Natury wywierającej zemstę na przedstawicielach pokolenia, które chyba od początku było stracone. Zmagający się ze swoją spuścizną rodzice, mężowie, synowie walczą z demonem na marginesie społeczeństwa, w którym nie ma dla nich miejsca.
