Ashy Roads

Grief is a road with no clear destination-until Jackson Blake decides to follow his daughter's map. Shattered by the devastating loss of his daughter Holly, Jackson Blake stands at the precipice of his own destruction. With a loaded gun and a heart consumed by unbearable pain, he discovers something unexpected: a meticulously planned road trip Holly had dreamed of taking together. In a moment of raw vulnerability, Jackson chooses life-if only temporarily. He embarks on the journey Holly never got to complete, carrying her ashes and his crushing grief across endless highways. Each mile is a battle against his own demons: depression that claws at his soul, alcohol that numbs his pain, and the crushing weight of a father's unimaginable loss. As miles pass and strangers become unexpected companions, Jackson confronts the rawest parts of himself. This is more than a road trip-it's a last-chance pilgrimage of healing, a final opportunity to find meaning in a world that has taken everything from him. With each ash scattered, with each story shared, Jackson must ultimately choose: surrender to his pain or discover a reason to keep living. A searing exploration of grief, redemption, and the fragile hope that survives our darkest moments.
