Charismatic, sexy student Susie subjugates several friends to her will - Henry, Tess, Valerie and Spencer. Together they are preparing dangerous, almost criminal actions under loud slogans: “Exposure is freedom” and “To understand the nature of a thing, you need to take it apart.” However, the young people develop a strange relationship, and it threatens to turn into a real disaster. Ten years later, Henry and Tess are married. They live in a remote rural area, where Tess paints and Henry experiences a protracted creative crisis. Daughter Emma is the only thing keeping them together. But soon one careless letter will turn their entire fragile world upside down and force them to relive the events of the sweet and terrible summer that befell them... exactly ten years ago.
