This feels like a one and done, but I could be wrong. Essentially, this end up being about a small band of kids who've been living in a mobile commune waking up to find that all the adult figures are gone, and them trying to figure out what the hell is happening, interspersed with some flashbacks. There are also a few moments of very direct fourth wall breaking that I'm still trying to parse how I feel about, but the lines that are used are amazing. Definitely worth your time this summer.
