"Point Traverse" tells the story of two childhood friends, Adwin and Cael, who have followed separate paths in life. Adwin leads a solitary, structured life as the manager of a little restaurant in a small town. Cael has become a drifter, aimlessly wandering the Earth in hope of something better. After a chance encounter with an ill-fated loner, the two friends embark on a journey of self-discovery. Cael heads to the city, taking a job as a janitor in an office tower. There he meets Mia, who helps Cael find a sense of home that has so far eluded him. Mia is herself running away from a previous life, and sees Cael as a chance to escape to greener pastures. But can Cael commit fully to this new life, or is it just a matter of time before he runs again? Bothered by his brush with death, Adwin finds comfort with an old friend and a young employee, who provide him with an outlet for his frustrations.
