Paying Tribute tells the story of a veteran named George who hiked the entire 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail to honor his fallen comrades. Directed by Angus Benfield and Kendall Bryant, The Keeper follows George as he carries the name tags of 363 veterans who lost their lives to suicide.

After losing his best friend in a failed attempt, George sets out on a solo mission to raise awareness of the crisis among former military members. He hopes his journey will prevent others from sharing the same tragic fate.

On his walk from Maine to Georgia, George encounters other hiker veterans who provide company and meaning along the way.
