Storyline 

In 1992, Peter Collins, a Seattle real estate agent who is considered a stable person in every sense of the word, leaves his place of work, Regal Realty, without a word, not to go home to his wife Annah Collins and his adolescent daughter Samantha Collins, but to drive off somewhere with the ultimate intention of committing suicide.

He does leave a videotaped message for his boss Don informing him of his immediate resignation, that video which Don shows to Annah, who in turn does not know what to think in Peter's obvious want to disappear. As long as he is alive, Peter keeps a video diary ultimately to provide Annah not so much with the answers, but his feelings as to why he is planning on doing what he is thinking of doing. It ends up being somewhat of a stream of consciousness play-by-play view of his emotions as he largely wanders through the Nevada desert. Meanwhile, Annah has to try and figure out why Peter has left and to where he's gone. Part of that process is to go through his possessions to find any clues. She also hires a private investigator, Duran Palouse. If Duran is able to locate Peter, he has to decide how best to proceed as he cannot force Peter to do anything he doesn't want to do, such as go home.
