*****************************************************
At the apex of a heatwave and California’s fire season, 16-year-old Mae and her sisters become prey to a hidden camera at their hometown creek. As the fires intensify, the suffocating male gaze blurs with Mae’s desire to be watched. A sheet ghost is conjured -- Mae’s phantom representing the convergence of lust and violation within her girlhood.
