Adirondacks Stories

Every twenty-five years, the isolated, Adirondack village of Pearl Cove hosts a town-wide scavenger hunt called Castle, available only to students in their final year of high school that reside there. The game is simple: decode the clue given to you at the beginning of each round, be the first to find all four of your keys, and win the cash prize. But, as history shows, the game and its owners have a tendency to play their hand in the lives of the participants, leading them unknowingly to places they shouldn't be. Playing Castle then becomes a race against unknown time, rather than a friendly scavenger hunt. For Pressley, Castle is an opportunity to finally be able to call Pearl Cove home. A win could mean a chance to stay in the village with her girlfriend, who is most skeptical of the game, and properly grieve an unthinkable loss. For Iris, an avid tree-lover and inside-hater, winning Castle is a chance to finally get out of Pearl Cove, a place in which she never should've landed to begin with. Though she doesn't have much faith in her odds of winning, Iris wants nothing more than to be Somewhere Else. She's willing to take the test of time to get there.
