Set in the angst and sprawl of teenage suburbia, Long Island Sound tells the story of Cal, his journey through high school, and the lives that intersect with his along the way. Of Celia, who dreams of escaping a life she never had any say in. Of Sharon, whose past holds dark secrets with wounds that don't heal. And of Devon, Cal's best friend, whose obsession with the true nature of their seemingly idyllic town drives them into fulfilling a childhood promise before it's too late. Both an homage to and upending of the classic coming-of-age high school narrative, Long Island Sound delivers a poignant, riveting vision of the alienated world we've erected and imposed over Nature. Grand in scope and intimate in detail, it is a story of dreams and nightmares; of hope and memory; of longing and nostalgia.
