In late-1990s regional Australia, high school ends for five friends and the intensity of adulthood sets in.
Each friend navigates a different path through a scorching hot summer that feels like a fever dream.
CJ wanders the village, grieving the death of her mum; Sam retreats to his room - and the complexity of his mind; Trent battles the weight of masculine expectations; Alexandra discovers the brittleness of her own perfectionism; and Clink tries to unlearn everything that village life has taught him.
Over 100 days of parties and P-plates, nostalgia and anxiety, they seek their own ways out of childhood - until a tragedy brings them back together one last time.
