Anders Blankenship never intended to hike the Appalachian Trail alone, but when his boyfriend cancels, Anders steels his courage, leaving the abusive relationship to tackle the long-distance hike. Though a hiking virgin, he's glad he made the decision when he receives threatening messages from his ex. Luckily, Kevin, an experienced backpacker, takes him under his wing. Kevin Winters isn't looking for a hiking partner, let alone a fling with a cute man on the rebound. After learning he has the autoimmune disorder that killed his father, Kevin left his family to wander remote trails. Convinced his future holds only pain and death, Kevin refuses to get close to anyone. The family sourdough recipes he recreates over a campfire are his only solace. In the wilderness, Anders and Kevin discover a lot of common ground. While the future holds uncertainties they may not be ready to deal with, it might also hold the chance for happiness.

Anders' boyfriend Joel suggests spending the summer together hiking the Appalachian Trail starting in Georgia and getting as close to Maine, the end of the trail, as they can before they have to go back to school at the University of Northern Florida.
Anders, who hasn't done much camping and hiking, is apprehensive about the trip, even more so when Joel flakes on him as Anders is standing in the parking lot leading to the start of the trail with his backpack and other gear firmly in place. Incensed, Anders decides to hike as far and as long as he can since he's there and ready to go.
Very quickly, Anders finds that he's in over his head. Thankfully, Kevin Winters takes Anders under his wing and hikes with him, smoothing his way, since Kevin had walked the Trail north to south the previous year. Nicknamed Sourdough because of the starter and flour he carries, Kevin guides Anders through the first few grueling days until they become hiking partners, meeting and greeting other hikers along the way.
Kevin, however, has his own, darker reason for hiking the Trail. Having just watched his father die a painful death due to lupus, Kevin himself has been diagnosed with the disease. Hiking long haul trails, including the Pacific Crest Trail, Kevin is running away from his mother and sister, the family bakery in California, and his diagnosis. His hike is his bucket list, he thinks.
