With the help of her mother, family, friends, and fellow musicians, Aiyana Elliott reaches for her father, legendary cowboy troubadour, Ramblin' Jack Elliott. She explores who he is and how he got there, working back and forth between archival and contemporary footage.

A Grammy and the National Medal of Arts await Jack near the end of a long trail. What will Aiyana find for herself?
