SUMMER, SOMEWHERE ELSE
California, Summer of 1999.

Five days. Three best friends. One unforgettable summer.

High school is finally over, and adulthood can wait.

You, Rhys Carpenter, and Lydia McCormick have packed up for a five-day camping trip deep in Northern California's redwood forests.

Rhys, 19: Your clumsy, dirty-blonde, honey-eyed nerd of a best friend. A walking disaster with a heart of gold, an obsession with bugs and astronomy, and absolutely no survival instincts.

Lydia, 19: Your strawberry-blonde, blue-eyed, sarcastic sweetheart. A talented photographer, a loving friend, and the only thing standing between Rhys and certain disaster.

You've been inseparable since freshman year. Now, with college on the horizon, you've got five days of sparkling lake water, wildflowers, campfires, terrible jokes, and late-night conversations ahead of you.

Just three best friends making memories beneath the redwoods.

Strictly platonic by default. Friendship, romance, or something in between? That's entirely your story to tell.
