Tracy Chapman’s powerful song "Fast Car" tells the story of a young couple escaping their hometown in search of new opportunities, and of heartache, as dreams crumble along the way.

Yosemite’s mountain peaks are already capped with snow and a mist rolls through the valleys. The coyote’s mating season begins as winter starts, and the bobcat mother will soon leave her young to fend for themselves.

Yosemite’s trees and animals have adapted to endure the occasional wildfire and the extreme changing of the seasons. In September, marmots prepare their burrows for hibernation and the deer are full of energy as the annual rut approaches.

There’s a surprise in store when Tommy’s food delivery turns out to be for somebody he already knows.

In the lower valley, a foraging black bear attacks a colony of ants, which quickly rally to defend themselves. At its driest in summer and fall, the park is at the mercy of forest fires. One of the largest ever, the Rim Fire, broke out in the autumn of 2013, and burned out of control for over ten weeks.

The probation officer saves Tommy's job at Pirate Burger, and this time he’s entrusted to make a delivery. He uses the opportunity to try to make contact with Christy again.

It’s June, and Yosemite has come alive with noise and vibrant colors. The meadow flowers are in bloom, the bobcat kittens are almost full-grown, and the park’s unique amphibian and rodent populations emerge from their winter rest.

When Christy’s boyfriend shows up, Tommy is left in confusion and he needs to make a quick exit! He then has to visit the probation office, where at least he seems to be striking up a good rapport with his probation officer’s son.

Kate lives in Grand Lake, Colorado, a small town that is considered the gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park. Kate’s friend Tom is inspired by the cold and recent snow to go out and take a plunge in the icy lake!

The imposing rock faces of Yosemite are very popular with sport climbers, and the rocky heights are also home to the endearing American pika. Mule deer, many with fawns, inhabit the lower valley, which is awash with spring color.

Tommy confronts his sister, who had told him that his girlfriend died while he was in prison. Christy is still very much alive, and Tommy, still in love, rushes to her apartment.

About her Eurovision-premiered song, singer Rosa Linn says, "I think we’ve all been at a snapping point, where it felt like there’s no way out and that the entire world is just crumbling down around you. You start questioning everything, including yourself..."

In the wooded valley, a pine squirrel falls prey to the voracious bobcat. Here we find some of the oldest and tallest trees on earth: The giant sequoias, which are now a major attraction for visitors to the park.

A relaxing bobcat family is surprised by the appearance of a young black bear. Elsewhere, a raven family is threatened by the presence of a bald eagle circling above their nesting site.

Tommy’s former associate is determined to recruit him, but his sister is against it, and shows Tommy something that she thinks might convince him to stay on the straight and narrow. Then a surprise sighting at the burger restaurant reveals that she has been misleading him about somebody close to his heart.
