Slowgirl is the story of Becky, a teenager who flees to the Costa Rican retreat of her reclusive uncle to escape the aftermath of a horrific accident. The week they spend together forces them both to confront who they are as well as what it is they are running from.
What Is the Story of Slowgirl?
Becky is in serious trouble with the law after a high school party got out of hand. No one could have expected that a mentally handicapped student referred to by her classmates as “slowgirl” would get drunk and think she can fly, but she did, and if she dies, Becky will pay a steep price. While Becky waits to hear about her classmate's fate, she escapes to her Uncle Sterling's cabin in Costa Rica to clear her mind. During her weeklong stay, the two bond over the morally questionable decisions they have made.
