After high school, Emily feels trapped in her Canadian-small-town life; her two best friends, Lincoln and Melissa, are moving on, and Emily feels haunted by notoriety from her tragic childhood. When she starts dating newcomer Tyler, Emily tastes the liberation of not being tied down to her past. Emily's deep, messy relationships ring true in Ozkowski's insightful debut about this disjointed time in life.
