A former valedictorian quits her reporter job in New York and returns to the place she last felt happy: her childhood home in Connecticut. She gets work as a lifeguard and starts a dangerous relationship with a troubled teenager.

Leigh: I'm not invisible. I'm the fucking lifeguard, mother fucker.
Leigh: I'm sucking off his youth like a vampire.
Todd: [Referring to Leigh] Do you remember that red one-piece bathing suit she used to wear? She looked like a Swiss army knife.
Leigh: Are you insane? You want to face this cold, harsh world without a high school diploma? Why don't you just blind yourselves while you're at it.
Mel: We're trying to get pregnant.
Leigh: Like, with a human baby?
Leigh: Leigh: Is this parking lot, like, passed down in the DNA of skaters... like a geese migratory path?
