Description

Rylan O’Hare feels a growing distance from his best friend, Wilder, who becomes preoccupied with his family's newfound wealth. Hoping to mend their friendship, Rylan joins Wilder for a summer farming program in France. However, the experience takes an unexpected turn when Rylan learns that his estranged father, whom he hasn't seen since he was three, is also in France and wants to meet. Between mishaps on the farm and being ditched by Wilder for new friends, Rylan’s trip becomes less about reconnecting with Wilder and more about self-discovery and deciding whether to meet his father. Amidst the chaos, Rylan learns to let go of old expectations and embrace new possibilities.
