Sixteen year-old Natalie is straight up misunderstood. Her 27 year-old boyfriend isn't a pedophile. Her drug habit is nothing more than recreation and her best friend's impending death isn't breaking her heart. After crashing her father's wedding to Mommy New Boobs, Natalie is given a choice. Go to jail or rehab. Natalie reluctantly agrees to be transplanted from her working-class teenage life in Buffalo, NY to the sun and sand of Southern California. The "Dunes" is for "troubled kids." Like Stacey, a senator's daughter who is convinced rock album art speaks to her, and Cassidy, a burnout who carries a TV remote around because she thinks she can control her life like a TV show. There are bullies and sweethearts, thieves and predators. Could it be Natalie has found a home among all these lost souls? Mitch seems to think so. A former Dunes "guest" turned part-time counselor, his movie star good looks seem to match the glitz and mystery of the West Coast. Is he the one person in the world that can make Natalie want to save herself, or is he just another "bad decision?" Is losing everything necessary to win everything her heart desires? And will that revelation save her best friend's life?
