Summary
There are summers you forget.
And then there are the ones that live beneath your skin forever.
In a sleepy Southern town where the heat is relentless and the cicadas never stop screaming, two boys collide by accident. One is all scraped knees, stolen liquor, and restless energy. The other smells like cigarette smoke and carries the quiet weight of a life already falling apart. Day after day, they meet at an abandoned dock as the sun sinks into the river, chasing freedom they know won't last. By the time autumn arrives, neither of them will be the boy they were when summer began.
Or: Two boys. One forgotten dock. One sweltering Southern summer that changes both of their lives forever.
