"A real-life coming-of-age story of two small-town juvenile delinquents, navigating the early 1970s as the "best summer ever" goes to the worst times of their lives."
Manitou Beach is a hilarious, adventurous, and poignant 1970s coming-of-age story following the fatefully intertwined lives of Terry and David Clark, two carefree teens growing up in small-town Ohio. The boys are having the "best summer ever," waterskiing at the lake, experimenting with the latest drugs, and listening to the best rock music has to offer. That is, until their idyllic world comes crashing down when David finds a gun. A series of bad choices changes their friendship, and their lives, forever.
