Last Summer for Boys - Synopsis

In rural North Dakota, each town is like a great American novel where every page is dedicated to the memory of a different person and every memory is shared by the entire town.

Nick West, the son of a pastor, and BeauDrey Treeland, the son of a farmer were childhood best friends in the same rural North Dakota town. Nick left for Minot and his connection with BeauDrey left as well.

Some 10 years later Nick, a year or so from his degree, is a wannabe writer who lives in downtown Fargo. He is on his way back to the same rural North Dakota town to visit family and tell them some important news. There he discovers that BeauDrey has moved back home from Minneapolis. Although the details aren’t clear, BeauDrey’s situation is not good and BeauDrey’s mother has decided to take action.

For BeauDrey, who chose a cubicle over a combine, the burden of leaving the farm never left him and he must navigate through a lifetime of regret, chance encounters and an ending that leaves no questions unanswered.

Along the way is the story of gravel roads, abandoned buildings, best friends, farming, growing up, moving out, loss, and moving back -- somewhere inside North Dakota and the Last Summer For Boys.
