At a summer camp in the mountains of West Virginia, in July 1963, a group of children and teenagers —Lenny, Cap, Alma, Delia and Buddy— live their last summer of innocence. Two adults with criminal pasts linger around the camp, and what happens that month awakens them to a new awareness of nature and of themselves.
