Based on the acclaimed novel, The River Why is the story of 20-year-old Gus Orviston , the Mozart of flyfishing  (Zach Gilford, "Friday Night Lights"), who leaves his big city home in rebellion from his parents (William Hurt and Kathleen Quinlan) to live in a secluded cabin on the banks of a wild river and do nothing but fish.

Instead of finding fishing bliss, his desolation drives him on a reluctant quest for self-discovery.

In the process, he meets an assortment of eccentric characters who help him on his journey to adulthood - including a quirky philosopher (Dallas Roberts), a reporter (William Devane) and a mysterious woman (Amber Heard) who will change his life forever.

Most of all, The River Why is a love story--The love of a man for the wilderness, and for a beautiful woman who comes to share it with him.
