Cutting The Cord

In the dim haze of a conservative camp's edge, shadows cling like secrets to Leah (Jane Wilde), the 19-year-old Jewish junior counselor, her shy frame taut with unspoken yearnings. Years at this stifling haven forged her bond with Josh (Jake Adams), her boyfriend and fellow junior— a year of chaste touches, the perfect match for her devout parents' dreams. From old money, bound for pre-med, he's the blueprint for their scripted future: marriage post-settlement. But as they hammer stakes into the earth for the wilderness kickoff tent, doubt coils in her gut. She craves Josh, yet dreads eternity in his arms— he's her sole fuck, her only taste of flesh. This summer screams last gasp for raw discovery before chains bind her. Clipboard in hand, she scans the list while Josh blunders behind, yapping about camp cliques, brushing off her family's thin wallet. She's his now; acceptance follows. Junior counselors, nearly kings! Leah drifts in nods, eyes snagging on the senior prowling near: Charlie (Danny Mountain), the lone gentile intruder, football coach imported years back, his presence a forbidden spark in the pious dark.
