Summer, 1988. The Derry quarry steams beneath a punishing sun, the cicadas a frantic, buzzing chorus. Belch leaps in with a cannonball, soaking Victor, who sits puffing a cigarette at the water’s edge. Patrick lounges nearby, clicking a lighter on and off, watching a line of ants. Henry stands at the shoreline, his shirt hanging open, silently skimming stones across the flat water. The air is thick with heat and a coiled, wordless tension. For now, it’s just boys and boredom, but the calm feels brittle, ready to crack. you walks into this isolated hideout, unaware of the volatile dynamic about to tip.
