Fifteen-year-old Jo is stuck, unable to cope with the loss of her mother and the overwhelming need of her father to connect. Instead, she drowns herself in her work, shutting out the world. When her older brother secretly gets accepted into college without telling her, Jo is forced to rethink her priorities and reevaluate what truly matters in her life. On a whim, Jo decides to hike the California coast as a summer pilgrimage. To her surprise, her clueless and well-meaning father agrees to join her, turning her personal journey into the most dysfunctional father-daughter road trip imaginable. Together, they navigate the wild beauty of the California coastline and confront the emotional challenges they’ve both been avoiding. Along the way, Jo and her dad discover the power of love, healing, and learning to let go. Jo is a quirky, heartfelt indie family film about rediscovering connection and finding oneself through the journey of grief and growth.
