With breathtaking scenery and the chance to forge new friendships, Camp Sweet Clover, nestled in the woods of eastern Ontario, provides campers with a summer haven. Sixteen-year-old Piper is enjoying an escape from reality when she receives a phone call from home-a home she can never return to-that leads her to make a drastic decision. Her friend Melody, 15, puts her own emotional well-being on the line and reaches out to help. Melody's quick thinking saves Piper's life, but doing so shakes her to her core.
Follow the girls in this hard-hitting, analogue coming-of-age story as Melody questions her strategically planned future, and Piper continuously fights to create a future she isn't convinced she deserves. The turmoil of the summer of 1994 follows them into that future when, years later, they find themselves back on camp soil, along with their found family, reconnecting to a time that neither of them is ready to admit no longer exists.
Content Warnings: domestic violence, suicide, sexual assault.
