After years of reckless behavior, a heroin addiction, and the destruction of her marriage, Strayed (Witherspoon) makes a rash decision. Haunted by the memories of her mother Bobbi (Dern) and with absolutely no experience, she sets out to hike more than a thousand miles on the Pacific Crest Trail all on her own.
