Guided by Thunder

Everett Anderson's is frustrated and confused. A global pandemic has ruined his life and shattered his future. Deemed "non-essential," he lost his job. His wife filed for divorce. His financial safety net is dwindling. At the end of his rope, on a whim, he buys a ticket to Peru to fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing Machu Picchu before he starts his life over. The day before his tour begins, he meets a wild, larger-than-life Nordic guide named Torgrim who throws down a challenge: rather than take the train to Machu Picchu, hike there, through the Andes Mountains, instead. Everett has never hiked a day in his life, but something in him tells him he has to undertake the challenge. He joins Torgim and finds himself on an adventure that is more challenging and enlightening than anything he ever bargained for.
