Wildfire

Description

At an end-of-year party, Russ Callaghan and Aurora Roberts share an intense night before Aurora disappears without giving Russ her full name. They expect the encounter to remain anonymous until they arrive for work at the same summer camp. Both have come seeking refuge: Russ wants distance from his father’s gambling addiction, while Aurora hopes to return to the place where she once felt most at home. Their renewed attraction grows under a rule forbidding relationships between staff members, making secrecy part of every choice. Against the close quarters and responsibilities of camp life, the romance follows two young adults trying to distinguish genuine connection from escape while difficult family realities wait beyond the summer.
