mount summer
A rented steam cleaner won’t stop spilling blood. Employees of a New England pizzeria try to wait out a worsening snowstorm. A boy discovers that a specific hardwood at the edge of a boat graveyard will ultimately be responsible for his death. Professional movers with hexed pasts race towards the ocean after being exposed to asbestos. A woman trades her apartment for a lake inhabited by a giant snapping turtle.
Mount Summer delves in people and towns left too long in the sun. It lingers in the impermanence of beach communities and then follows their sunburned tourists back to the places they tried to leave.
