YA
Julie, who's suffering from an unknown trauma, is volunteering in New Orleans with her "suffocating" Christian youth group. After she bolts into Mid-Summer Mardi Gras and takes up with a handsome local banjo player and his crew, wandering leads to healing and whirlwind romance as a tropical storm draws closer. A wild, sensitive, and vibrant love song to New Orleans, Shakespeare, and adolescence.
