"Ignorance is bliss."
School's out, but the learning's just begun. A cottage party for a group of university grads turns into a weekend of love, lies, casual sex and crucial understanding. The future isn't the dream they once shared. The choices they make today will determine the lives they live tomorrow.
Seven friends, who've recently graduated from university, head up to the cottage for the weekend. The story unfolds through the seemingly insignificant past times of cottage living; chatting about life as they drink and eat around the campfire, water-skiing, wakeboarding and tubeing up and down the picturesque St-Lawrence River.
Their personal connections and self-reflections reveal a recurring theme throughout the weekend; that at any given moment we have the power to change our lives through the choices we make. The story drifts between the characters as they assess each other's situations and work through their own issues. It's a weekend meant to be nothing out of the ordinary, yet ends up having nothing ordinary about it as they all leave slightly changed.
