Sixteen-year-old Sydney Biggs is a "good kid." Smart, pretty,
self-aware. No one doubts that she'll go far in life. But, lately her
mother worries that Sydney is wandering down the wrong path and getting
all caught up in petty teenage rebellion and shenanigans. When Sydney
and her best friend Natalia "borrow" a car to go to a party and then get
escorted home by the police, their parents pack them up and ship them
off to a hard-love wilderness camp--to stop this behavior before it gets
out of hand, before things go too far. The problem is, they already
have.
Sydney--the "good kid"--is pregnant.
In the wilds of Canada, where the girls are to spend the next four weeks
canoeing, camping and foraging for food, time is ticking, because Sydney
isn't sure what she wants to do about her pregnancy. And she certainly
isn't expecting the other heady issues that will confront her as she
forges friendships with her adventure-mates, including a guy who makes
it no secret that he is a major thug and a teen television heartthrob
with a secret of his own, not to mention her own best friend -- who is
very adamant about what Sydney should do.
