Calvin Petersen

Summer, 1974. Two twelve-year-olds, Finn and Gary, scheme to sneak into a concert by unknown rocker Bruce Springsteen. The problem? They're on the mainland, the concert is on Long Beach Island.

Kit and his two best friends have been raised by a forest-dwelling cult on the outskirts of society. As they come of age and are brought closer into the cult’s fold, Kit alone is bothered by the cruelty of its rituals. After stumbling upon a mother and her child where the forest meets the outside world, Kit must decide if he is truly safest in the life he has always known or if the world he has been taught to fear is worth abandoning his adoptive family.
