On the day of his last medical school exam, Danny Benson receives a Dear John letter from his fiancé Heather. In it, she writes that the engagement is off. Why? She's flown to London to meet up with her friends and ride the Magic Bus, traveling overland to Kathmandu Nepal. The postmark is dated two weeks earlier.With his plans shattered and a sudden urgency, Danny instinctively knows what he has to do: set out on a journey thousands of miles from home in search of her. Just one last conversation stands in the way of either rekindling their relationship or get the closure to move on with his life. When he inexplicably runs into Heather crossing continents, they spend the entire ride debating whether to stay together or break up forever. Arriving in town and exhausted from their long bus trip and long-drawn-out conversation, fate decides for them. Instead of resolution, their decisive moment materializes when they collide with history.

Yangchen and her family are Tibetan refugees living a simple life in Nepal. Often, her High Lama grandfather would tell her stories of the wonders of Tibet before he had to cross over to Nepal to escape the crackdown of Chinese authority. This was a special time for Yangchen as she loved her grandfather dearly and the stories he would tell her. Just prior to his passing, and with a weakened voice, he awakes from a dream re-counting that she crosses over to Tibet. Suddenly, Yangchen had purpose in her life, and because of his sacred dream, she realizes she must go. Having received a smartphone for her eighteenth birthday and inspired by her grandfather's dream and her own self-determination, she posts a curious message on a Tibetan refugee website mobilizing fellow refugees to accompany her on the treacherous journey to Tibet. By doing so, Yangchen unintentionally changes the course of Tibetan history.
