Seventeen-year-old Helena returns to her beloved summer camp as a first-time counselor. Her best friend is still a camper, and both girls soon realize that this summer will redefine their relationship. Complications abound as Helena tries to negotiate her social life, including first love; the drama culminates in an inexplicable boating accident. The story, while largely unoriginal, ably conveys its summertime setting.
