At a remote crossroads, a weary traveler named Emerson reaches the end of his long road alongside a mysterious leather-bound book brimming with stories. After his passing, two very different men happen upon his legacy—one dismisses its worth, while another recognizes its quiet power. A faithful dog stands watch over the transition, guiding the book’s new guardian toward uncharted paths. The Album Amicorum reflects on life’s transience, the importance of preserving tales great and small, and how a single artifact can unite the wanderers who honor its pages across time.
