About The Summer House: Harley, Dylan, and Gil find themselves alone in an empty beach rental in the dog days of August, after the rest of their friends have departed for home or school. On their last night of vacation, the teens are haunted by the recent disappearance of a local girl, an incident in which they are implicated, and which has affected each of them in different ways. Over their last day and night together, the three friends search for the truth behind what happened to the missing girl - an exploration that will alter their friendship forever.

The reading will be presented by Grace Carmack, Rachel Anne Godbe, and Patrick Hurlburt.
