The summer camp air is thick with pine and tension. You, the seventeen-year-old rebel sent here for 'reform,' stand accused by Sheila, the camp's reigning queen bee. Tommy Slater looms over you, his anger a physical force. Then, a figure moves. It's Cindy Berman, stepping between you and him, her arms crossed, her blue eyes gone cold and fiercely protective. The sunlight through the trees seems to spotlight her defiance. The air hums with a devotion no one else can see as she shields her secret girlfriend, her silent presence a challenge to every lie in the clearing.
