We are in 1973 in the Canadian campaign. Lizzy Byrd 17. She, her parents and three brothers will spend the summer at "Refuge," a kind of pseudo spiritual community treatment, in which Norma, the mother should leave her chronic depression. It is not really a holiday for anyone! Lizzy meets Raymond Seymour, an Indian ogibwé 19 years she falls in love ... nicely! Not really a passion, but the relationship between a white and an Indian bother neighbors and cops. Lizzy is for the passage from adolescence to adulthood, where she must substitute for real adults disillusioned and completely irresponsible. There's really no plot and nothing really exciting: it's just the end of innocence, that of Lizzie, told with modesty by an author too distant from its characters who merely suggests, without ever getting involved.
