"We are led to believe a lie
When we see not through the eye
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the soul slept in beams of light.
God appears, and God is light
To those poor souls who dwell in night,
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day."
Connie, a troubled teenage international student, is kicked out by her host family on her 18th birthday. She joins a group of rural white teenagers who have recently moved from Quebec to a Jasper trailer site. In spite of their class and cultural backgrounds, Connie quickly befriends the group of three teenagers. Without any adult supervision, they are soon caught up in a lust-filled summer whirlwind of hard-partying and law-bending.
