Kyle Ryan Quinn, an introverted, emotional youngster who lives in the idyllic period between the conservative 1950s and the chaotic 1960s, has a wonderful life. He spends each summer with the same group of pals on the same island and is wealthy, attractive, and intelligent. Kyle is more sensitive than his fortunate peers because he is plagued by the ghosts of a tragedy that happened when he was a little boy. He is aware of secrets, loss, and grief.
