SYNOPSIS:
In this quirky, creepy, bawdy comedy, 14-year-old Oliver braves the wilderness to discover change at sleep away camp. Miles away from home, surrounded by pubescent boys and girls, Oliver is not prepared for the life altering transformation he will soon experience. From twisted first sexual encounters, to spooky campfire stories unfolding before his eyes, Oliver’s time at camp is anything but normal.
