Description

It's 2003. Owen is ten-years-old. He’s in love with his next-door neighbor. And this summer, he’s finally going to tell her how he feels. But when his aunt goes missing, no one is protected from the fallout, and a suburb must learn how to embrace the world instead of hiding from it and come to terms with what it means to grow.
