Synopsis
At 49, Isla is reveling in second chances. Her first marriage ended horribly, but she has finally found happiness in her second husband, Lyle.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old Roddy, a faltering student and occasional shoplifter, devises a plan to escape the confines of small-town life.
Their worlds collide one hot August afternoon when a fake robbery goes horribly wrong, leaving each to reconstruct their lives on new and unexpected foundations.
