David Hall has graduated college and decided to pursue a non-traditional route. Rather than going to business school, David will spend the summer at his new girlfriend's lake house in Appalachia with an aim to write the great American novel. When the words don't flow as easily as David had hoped, and his girlfriend becomes distant, David's world goes into a tailspin.
