Description
Sutter Keely, a charismatic eighteen-year-old, navigates the final months of high school with a philosophy of living solely in the present, often fueled by alcohol and a carefree attitude. His world begins to shift when he takes on the unexpected project of helping Aimee, a shy and unassuming classmate, discover her own self-worth. As their connection deepens, Sutter is forced to confront the consequences of his hedonistic lifestyle and the possibility of a future he's always avoided. This poignant coming-of-age story explores themes of identity, responsibility, and the often-painful transition from adolescence to adulthood.
