EXT. FORESTED HILLTOP ON PRINCE-OF-WALES ISLAND - EVENING


Grant (27) and James (19) sit in the rain, soaked and miserable. James looks worse-off than his brother.

                            GRANT

            I've been thinking on this: what'll

            happen now is you go down and tell

            them everything I did. Tell them how 

            I hit Don with a rock, tell them how I

            forced you back up here until you were

            able to get away. That's what we'll have

            to do.


                            JAMES

            I ain't gonna do it.


                            GRANT

            Don't tell me that. You go back, you tell

            them that that's what happened.


James looks down. Grant tries to get James to look at him but the young man won't. The rain continues to pour.


                            GRANT

            Let me see that jacket a minute.


James takes off his jacket and gives it to Grant. Grant puts it in his pack. Grant starts walking away. James follows him. Grant whips around.

                            GRANT

            Keep your goddamn distance from me!


James stops. Grant keeps walking. James waits a bit, and then follows far behind like an obedient dog routine.

The Limit of Wooded Country.

An epic journey by two brothers on the run, set in present day, from the rain forests of southeastern Alaska to the Arctic tundra of the northern coast.  After losing their land and killing a forest official, the brothers chart a far northern escape, where they hope to find their father’s much-mythologized gold claim and live in simple prosperity.


But after enduring months of hope and hardship along their journey, and a surprising turn of evil at the hands of one of the brothers, what they find instead – on the furthest edge of the American frontier – is devastation, a ruined family legacy, and a third brother who’s come to save only one of them.


Production begins February 2011
