Jack and Sedona are tighter-than-tight, whether they’re daydreaming about running from the “wolves” that represent their fears, or indulging in the Challenges-the increasingly difficult dares they’ve traded since fifth grade. The future is Jack-and-Sedona as far as the eye can see.

What starts as a grand scheme to kick senior year off with a bang quickly evolves into a Challenge that has Jack questioning everything she knows, and Sedona insisting that nothing needs to change. For the first time, Jack has to navigate her desires and decisions outside of the Jack-Sedona mind-meld, even if that means letting all their wolves catch up with them.

Traversing topics of friendship, sex, gender, art, and choice, Wolves reminds us that life belongs to us and then asks what we’re actually supposed to do about it.
