The year is 2003 and it’s another sweltering summer in Pine Park. After a chance encounter with the local trailer park queen, a young girl finds herself in an unlikely friendship with her unpredictable idol. Thrust into a world of boys, booze, and the harsh realities of adulthood, she soon must navigate the struggles of growing up, the dream of getting out, and the art of finding beauty in the ugliest of places.
