When he has to go help his aunts clean out his grandma's house, he's not expecting anything exciting. Until he becomes reacquainted with a local hillbilly boy, he knows from summer's past.

Dooley Harlow has a hard life. After his father left, he and his mom ended up in a bad way. He wants more than anything to find peace and be happy. Right now, he's barely getting by. Little does he know, the comfort and happiness he seeks are a lot closer than he thinks.
