Set in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the story follows 16-year-old Skeets Stearns, a farm boy who seeks solace in the mountains near his home. While his time in the wild has built his physical strength, he struggles with self-confidence, particularly when it comes to approaching Becky Winslow, the attractive and popular star of the track team. The narrative explores themes of adolescence, courage, and the journey of self-discovery against a backdrop of rural life.
