The Searching Three

Brad Reid now lives in Los Angeles but he spent most of his younger days growing up in the high deserts of Southern California. It's been years since he's seen any desert, but while on an important business trip he must drive through an isolated section of New Mexico. When he sees the sun rise over the vast desert horizon for the first time in a great while, he experiences an awakening; something deep within himself that he had lost long ago. Soon after, he decides to try to reclaim some of the spiritual peace that he once knew and he formulates a plan which includes his two best friends and a weekend camping trip in a rugged region of that mysterious desert. Seeking enlightenment may take some convincing on his part however, in order to ensure that his friends take the journey with him. So he hires a guide. Not knowing what they're looking for and having no real idea of what to expect, they find themselves in fantastic situations; alternating between terrifying and magnificent. Their friendships are tested repeatedly and the presence of a stranger leaves them confused and bewildered more often than not. Their quest for knowledge and spiritual enlightenment takes them down a psychedelic maze which at times seems to have no ending. Once locked into the intense trip, they have no choice but to see it through to its end, but is anything really what it seems?
