1968, a time of youthful revolt and liberation, and yet, for Maddy Barnes, a happy, small town teenager, her world will explode. The oldest child of a beloved doctor, and his beautiful, fun-loving wife, Maddy grows up spending weekends of her childhood at her grandfather's barn, a place where only the brave survive. A place of strong women, and love unrestrained. At just thirteen, a sudden, unforeseen tragedy causes Maddy's father to disappear into a world of loss and sorrow. Alone, her world now capsized without any means of navigating a new reality, Maddy falls in love - a hand of hope reaching out, and yet, ultimately, this love unrequited will send her fleeing to Toronto where she joins a world of street kids, speed freaks, and a violent dealer with rabies eyes named Hermann. ¿With no one to save her but herself, Maddy falls deeper into a dark place of sex, drugs, and danger, while finally coming to terms with a truth she can no longer ignore: a desire for women, and a life lived on her terms.
