A gruff and reclusive painter befriends a lonely young photographer as he and his friends navigate coming of age.
Dieter lives in a small lakeside community in southern Quebec, where it is possible to hide, and at the same time, where nothing is hidden. A discovery in the forest results in a chance meeting with Hazel, a reclusive visual artist who becomes his mentor.
When Dieter's childhood friend K is institutionalized by her parents following a suicide attempt, Dieter embarks on a mission to seek answers. As her situation worsens, Dieter confides his fears to his mentor. Hazel intuits echoes of her own traumatic past in K's story, and she is compelled to leave the comfort of her bitterness and seek redemption in action.
Brenda Hartwell is based in Quebec's idyllic Eastern Townships and works as a freelance writer, proof-reader, and editor. She has been a member of the TILT writing group for many years and leads writing workshops in neighbouring communities.
