Oscar's Way

Oscar's Way

A man. A cat. The open road, and a search for reinvention. Sean Morris believed he had earned a quiet retirement: a new home, financial security, and the freedom to live on his own terms. But stillness weighs more than he expected—until a visit with an old friend stirs him out of his solitude. Morris sets out on a road trip with Oscar, his aloof yet unexpectedly insightful cat. What begins as a search for purpose slowly becomes a pilgrimage toward connection. Across Pacific Northwest mountain towns and high desert plateaus, through chance encounters with strangers—some wise, some troubled, all unforgettable—he’s forced to reexamine the way he sees others and himself. He discovers that starting over isn’t about grand gestures, but about paying attention: to people, to places, to the quiet pull of possibility. Through it all, Oscar—mysterious, watchful, and fiercely independent—remains his most loyal guide. Thoughtful, wry, and deeply human, Oscar’s Way is a meditation on freedom, individuality, and the grace that can emerge when we stop waiting for answers and start noticing the world in front of us.
