The Lakes of Southern Hollow

Casey, Tyndall, and Devon-kids from Southern Hollow subdivision-have been falling in and out of love with each other, and always at the wrong time. It's a Thursday night in September 2019, their senior year. Anything seems possible. And Casey's band, New Wave Vultures, packs them in on teen night at the Cedar Shake, a club on the square in downtown Springfield, Missouri. While all three feel trapped in the Ozarks, the coming pandemic is about to show them the grinding limits of true confinement and the power of music, love, friendship, and courage.
