A character-driven drama about a middle-aged woman's transgressive summer affair that forces her to confront identity, desire, and the cost of self-discovery.

When the beautiful, efficient and successful Christine, 42, arrives at their summer beach home with her husband and teenage daughter, a young hitchhiker catches her eye. What follows is the story of a woman who frees herself, tears her life into pieces and puts it back together in a different order.
