Synopsis

Times are hard for independent bookstores. Facing a mountain of debt and an uncertain future with her own small business in Saskatchewan, Annabel Townsend sets out on a mission in the big city: to visit as many bookstores as she can, to find camaraderie amongst fellow booksellers, and hope for the future of the industry.

Inspired by the accidental discovery of a book about wandering, Annabel gets lost in Toronto enthusiastically. She seeks out this one single book, uncovering the city’s weird and wonderful literary community along the way.
