About Clarkston
“You have this idea in your head of the person you could be.”
In the heart of small-town America, two lost souls collide on the night shift at Costco. Jake is chasing a dream of reinvention, heading West like the last of the American pioneers. Chris is stuck in survival mode, hiding in plain sight. But when their lives intertwine, something begins to shift.
As their unexpected friendship grows, so does their hunger for something more; freedom, belonging, and the courage to redefine themselves. Inspired by the spirit of Lewis and Clark, Clarkston is a deeply human story about breaking free from the past, embracing connection, and daring to explore a new emotional frontier.
