Wow was this not was expected, a few friends finish High School, then head out on their own for a summer trip. Fully expecting a coming of age type of experience, it makes a sharp turn in a whole other direction. Seeking housing, they met a new person who they take under their

wing, or was it the other way around? Watch and determine this for yourself. They wind up in an abandoned neighborhood, no idea of why, no, not telling you either. He longer they are there freer they feel, see how that turns out. Even a simple flat tire becomes an adventure.

​

This is a story of people, how they influence each other, changes in their behavior given varying environments. What you will do for those close to you, things you would not have imagined just a short time before. Well worth the watch.
