Set in the mid-to late-1970s, The Legend of Henry Pech, follows the start of a new life for a naïve, young man named Jack. He leaves New York City and moves out to the remote back country of Oregon's Cascade Mountains. He meets a man, Henry Pech, who mentors him to the ways of the country living. Little known to the world, Henry is a modern-day mountain man and lives a simple, yet refined lifestyle. Even though Jack does not realize it at the time, Henry leaves a permanent mark on Jack's life and memories. To any outsider, he is only a simple man, but to a fortunate few, Henry becomes a legend.
