Urban legend has it that a Nevada reservoir is a time portal--the tease of which is enough to keep life exciting for the Crop, an aimless but spirited group of teenage best friends living in the nearby city of Sparks--enough, that is, until Cleo moves to town hell-bent on reaching 1960s Paris.

As featured in The New York Times and reviewed in The Hollywood Reporter.
