Based on the novel The J.A.P. Chronicles by Isabel Rose
Six former bunkmates reunite at Willow Lake Camp's 100th anniversary. Ali Cohen, the former 'ugly duckling' turned self-made swan, secretly hopes her teenage tormentors have grown into adult losers. As each woman steps into focus, however, she discovers that things are not quite so simple. Her expectations hilariously undermined, Ali reconsiders her subjects (not to mention herself) as whole, flawed and, finally, very human beings.
