Stuck in a small rural Wisconsin town, two girls, Esther and Pen, struggle to feel seen. Pen sits on a bench in the quiet of night. Esther approaches on a busted bike.They find each other. From that point on, they each have someone else to confide in. The two of them go to the same high school, live in the same town, and know the same people. There is something haunting Esther, and Pen sets out to find a way to help. Through conversations with each other, they accept parts of themselves they've been too scared to confront.

Small town hive-mind,
wind.
Relentless passage of time,
stars.
Solitude of girlhood,
snow.
Secrets told under the cover of night,
bruises
cuts
scrapes.
