Paddle boards, bonfires & bikinis won’t help Penny. She craves the boy from the woods; not knowing she’s already caught in his nightmare.

Penny’s nightmare is ruling her life and she doesn’t know why. It started a few months ago, and since then Red bulls, 5-hour energy and Starbucks drive-thru are her lifeline. Oh, and her best friend Ollie, who although recently kicked out of the house for telling his parents he’s gay, is more stable than Penny has ever been. An enabler, maybe, but he’s also the only one who has been there through thick and thin.

The thick being her recent psych-hospital stay (not sleeping kinda messes with a girl's brain). And the thin being their obsession with Bravo! TV.

When Penny’s parents decide to take their research of a rare Native American cult, the Bodaway, to a remote cabin, Penny is less than enthused. A few months in the woods on house arrest doesn’t sound ideal. (There may have been an incident where she fell asleep at the wheel. And the thing with the ‘shrooms. And the pot.). The fact that Ollie, now a homeless high-school graduate will be her babysitter softens the blow. Slightly.

When Penny meets Delsin in a clearing in the woods, everything changes. Apathy defines Penny, but Delsin lives life to it’s fullest. A shaman-in-training, he is everything Penny is not.

Delsin is Penny’s secret. She’s desperate to have something of her own, especially when Ollie starts dating Vince, leaving Penny all alone with her nightmares.

Each morning she comes to the woods, handing pieces of her heart to him, but when Penny is confronted with her worst nightmare, Delsin asks for a sacrifice Penny didn’t see coming.
