Story

In the summer of 1995, four teenage girls, Swann, Nora, Autumn, and Kat, meet by chance in the small town of Velvet Cove, Michigan, and quickly forge an inseparable bond over one unforgettable season. Playing an aspiring filmmaker who captures their adventures on a camcorder, the player relives the friendship they built, the punk band they formed, and the summer that changed them, before they made a pact to part ways and never speak again. Twenty-seven years later, the women reunite when a mysterious package arrives, forcing them to confront the long-buried secret that drove them apart.
