What it’s about
Kennedy faces expulsion unless she turns things around, but she gathers a group of fellow outsiders for a midnight adventure, sneaking into the luxurious pools of her college town. Beneath the thrill, she is wrestling with questions stirred by her father's death, and the night becomes a search for something more than escape.
What hooks you
Sam Hayes writes, directs, and produces this blend of drama and comedy. The film's underwater photography underscores a story that moves between wild escapades and quiet self-discovery.
Who it’s for
It is a good pick for those who like coming-of-age stories where a reckless night out masks deeper emotional wounds. It will also appeal to viewers who enjoy character-driven comedies with a touch of melancholy and a summery, youthful energy.
