When Reno's parents announce the family will be camping on an island, she realizes their drug-dependent
/ drinking / hyperactive / disabled
eccentricities are normal compared to this new
plan. She soon learns the island is not the tropical
type, but the type in the middle of a busy traffic
rotary. Her parents pack a tent, some blankets,
and a Porta-Potty to camp in the center of the
busiest rotary on Cape Cod. So Reno quickly
comes up with a survival plan which includes
avoiding any and all street lunatics (besides
family).
Once they arrive, she is at least grateful their
camp is hidden amongst tall trees. But events
take a peculiar and disturbing turn, first when
Reno sees her new neighbor, a bum residing on a
nearby bench, and then when young sister Wiley
pays the price for their mother's drinking binge by the way of
a bloody trauma to the head. Not only must Reno
face her own responsibility in the accident, but
little Wiley's life hangs by a thread as she withers
away daily in a coma. Reno is desperate to help
her sister fight for her life. But how?
