Known as the "crookedest street" in the United States, San Francisco's Lombard Street is a metaphor for Reg L. Carver's life journey. From humble beginnings, to dreams realized but unfulfilling, his constant was a lifelong battle with anxiety and depression. Carver endured virtually every psychiatric treatment offered in hopes of improving. Ultimately, however, he fell hard and fell far - losing his career, his friendships, and his way - almost everything he held dear.

Walking Up Lombard is the true story of one man's struggles to endure debilitating conditions. But more than that, it is a love story, one of a very special relationship between husband and wife. It's the story of undying love, of unwavering support, and one couple's struggle and victory against seemingly insurmountable odds. It's a story of acceptance and the freedom to be yourself.
