The story takes place in the summer of 1951. Jeannie, who is seventeen years old, just finished her senior year in high school. She ended up working as a mother’s assistant at such an upstate vacation resort while looking for summer employment. However, as she navigates her summer days, she is immersed in a lifetime of powerful events, and she grows into a remarkable young girl. That summer, we accompany her as she meets young men, examines the gap between sex and love, and encounters violent prejudice. However, it is her worry for Marty, the resort owner’s beaten and disturbed young son, that will take us on an emotional trip.

Will this sympathy, on the other hand, be of help to this disturbed child?
