Seventeen-year-old Luke Graham is facing a self-imposed existential crisis - and he hasn’t even graduated high school yet.
For Luke, the world begins and ends at the edge of the cornfields that surround his middle of nowhere town; a place where his family is blamed for ruining the lives of everyone who lives there. Keeping friends isn’t easy. Avoiding old ones isn’t either. Luke is desperate to escape to someplace no one knows him and become the artist he strives to be. The only thing standing in Luke’s way is Luke himself.
Perpetual new girl Lorie Nelson is quickly losing sight of who she really is. Her family moves constantly, never staying in the same place too long and with every new town, Lorie has a chance to be a new person. But it’s getting old. Hoping this move will be the last, Lorie doesn’t even get through her first week at school before her real past is uncovered and she finds herself being talked about, more than being spoken to.
So when their paths cross in the opposite of a meet-cute, Luke and Lorie form a bond over one thing they have in common; they want the chance to be kids again and enjoy one last perfect summer adventure before they grow up for good. Between questionable ice cream combinations, endless bike rides and makeshift beaches, they build a place where they can be themselves in the form of an abandoned boxcar hidden in the woods. But when small town secrets threaten to derail their own track to freedom, Luke and Lorie must decide between what’s ethical and what’s convenient in order to get what they want.
