Greenville, South Carolina. Tessa and Dexter have a peculiar game that has bound them together since adolescence, ever since he moved with his peculiar family into the house across from hers. While she develops a genuine obsession with the new neighbor, Dex views their relationship as mere amusement. Their special and eccentric friendship drives them to play with their own lives and those of others, constantly making bets and deliberately getting into trouble. A crazier wager than before forces Tess's parents to send her away forever, to Florida, to live with Aunt Teddy. Tessa begins to despise Dexter for everything he put her through, and it is only through this hatred that she manages to move on after that terrible decision. Synopsis: Daytona Beach, Florida. Eight years later. Tess can't believe her sister is about to get married, which means she has to return home for an entire weekend. Will she see him again? Will they still play together? In a weaving of present and past, their wild story speaks to us about great love and how cruel the heart can be; about friendship and the devastating pains of life, which flow inexorably and cannot hold together what is meant to be lost or change what is written to remain united.
