    A teen embarks on a cross-country trip to investigate the merits of a natural therapy for cancer based upon diet. He learns that this cure, which boldly contradicts the treatments promoted by the medical establishment, has existed for over half a century.

    Garrett is a 15-year old boy living in the Alaskan wilderness with a menagerie of orphaned animals. Growing up in close proximity to nature has given him a deep understanding of the nutritional needs required by diet sensitive animals on the reserve. Unfortunately, the untimely and tragic death of his mother propells him into a downward spiral and Garrett risks flunking out of school. This leads to his father's decision to home-school Garrett. His first assignment was to study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson. Written over 50 years ago, Dr. Gerson found that diet could, and did, cure cancer. Controversial at the time (and even today), Garrett took on the challenge of researching this amazing therapy, which drew the interest of his neighbors in the small Alaskan community. With the help of Dr. Gerson's daughter, Charlotte Gerson, and grandson, Howard Strauss, they gave him the ammunition needed to go in search for the truth–a truth that would affect not only him, but his entire Alaskan village–all of whom wanted to know if these claims were true. After a number of cancer patients, who were diagnosed as terminally ill, share their stories and their medical records with Garrett, it becomes abundantly clear that, contrary to the disinformation campaign spear-headed by the multi-billion dollar medical and pharmaceutical industry, a cure for virtually all cancers and chronic diseases does exist–and has existed for over 80 years! Garrett's mission now is to tell the world.
