It's Memorial Day, 1990, and Margaret Ryan has returned from Vermont to the Ontario cottage country where, thirty-two ears before, she was forced to vacation with her family at a lakeside resort. For her and her sister Daisy, it was a time of awakening, a time of discovery. As the narrator Margaret watches Maggie, her younger self, relive the innocence and beauty of that summer, the play moves inexorably back to the heartbreak of a headlong surrender to experience, both won and lost in a single day.
