Ingrid has made a deal with her mother: she gets to go to the school
of her choice as long as she completes a three-week wilderness
programme. But when Ingrid arrives, she quickly realizes there
has been a terrible mistake: there will be no marshmallows or cabins
here. Instead, her group will embark on a torturous trek, with
almost no guidance from the two counsellors and supplied with only
the things they can carry. On top of this, the other teen participants
are ""at risk youth"", a motley crew of screw-ups, lunatics
and delinquents. But as the laborious days go by, and as memories
of her complicated past come flooding back, Ingrid must confront
the question of whether she shares more in common with these
troubled teens than she's willing to admit.
