Summer of Tess

It is the summer of 1978. Recent college graduates Tess and Stacy land waitressing job at an upscale inn in the Hamptons until an FBI raid prematurely launches their road trip across America. Along the way, we meet an ensemble of characters from the rakishly handsome wiseguy Jake Langeham; to Krause, a German refugee scratching out an existence in the middle of nowhere on the Nebraska plains; to Wolf, the lecherous head-honcho of an artist community; and Aunt Edith, a blue blood world traveler who finds in Tess a kindred spirit. McKay combines a superb narrative with an unforgettable character study that will appeal to a wide range audience.
