A man follows a series of unending maps that keep him from getting
older... but when he stops following them, his age quickly catches up.
In 1794, a young man named John is given a map. Curious, he follows it,
and when he arrives at the end, he finds a similar map. This leads him
to another, and then another, and on and on. Determined to find
something, anything, else, he continues to follow these strange maps all
over the country. Decades later, he learns that as long as he follows
them, he doesn't seem to get older... and it's not until nearly a
century later that he realizes when he stops, time begins to catch up
with him. Torn between family and immortality, John must continually
choose between living forever and having a life worth living.
