Stay North

Marriage is tough and relationships are always complicated....

Harry and Noelle Phillips know this all too well. In order to refocus their lives together after eighteen years, the couple begins a long weekend excursion in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The trip is an attempt to put their marriage back on course. 

For their Stay North they choose Grand Island, situated off Munising Harbor and due west of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Here is where Grand Island Outfitters leads excursions. Their guide is Martin Rouge, a frustrated writer turned adventure guide. Elena Díaz, Martin's girlfriend, has followed her partner north. She anticipates a new start of their own, once summer ends. 

However, it seems that mother nature has her own plans. The Hiawatha National Forest draws a peculiar type of individual to its vastness. When truths are bared, each character learns that a little bit of wilderness provides the necessary answers to anyone who passes her way.
