Fiction Film: 20 minutes 

In Los Angeles, Max and Haley go to a reading and book signing of Kyle’s, an old friend of Max's from New York. Through flashbacks and conversations, we learn that they were more than casual friends, and Kyle's reappearance throws Haley and Max's relationship into question. Central to the two men's history was a Grand Canyon trip some years before. Max may need to travel that road again with renewed honesty if he's to sort out his life's conflicts and contradictions.
