Two teenage boys escape incarceration while high on LSD. In the chaos, they steal the treatment center van, driving 400 kilometers to a Walmart parking lot, determined to start an alternative youth commune in a nearby suburban forest.
It’s 2003, and 12-year-old Rell “Goat” Barrel and her mom Jane are scheming and scrounging their way through another Penticton summer. Having illegally sublet the house they’re renting; they’re now holed up in a RV park bordering Skaha Lake. From this modest base of operations, Goat befriends an awkward outsider (Leandro Guedes), skateboards, shoplifts, and talks a big game about becoming a world-class surfer… Despite having never actually climbed atop a board or laid eyes on the ocean.
Two women fall into a cycle of changing their appearance in order to find happiness.
