==Plot== David, a recent Yale graduate, decides to "go off the grid" to work at an apple farm in Oregon, hoping to gain some life experience outside of his privileged upbringing. In his new surroundings, he adopts the alias Samuel. Out of his element and failing to fit in amongst the town's migrant workers and deeply religious locals, David begins a journey that will take him deep into unfamiliar, awkward, and sometimes humorous territory as he encounters would-be benefactors and friends alike.
