Travel The Road – The Source Trailer
Written by Ashlin Halfnight (The New Look), Northbound follows an octogenarian outlaw named Arthur (Dern) who enlists his grandson Kevin (Parrish) to help him escape from a nursing home. What happens next, as Kevin drives him from Arizona to Canada, goes completely awry. The two pick up a mysterious and dangerous woman (Fox), and as the miles tick by, romance blossoms, bullets fly, and Arthur tries to convince his grandson to take over the family whiskey business. As they near their destination, Arthur reveals he has secrets and sins to atone for on this madcap journey of redemption.
