No Chinook

Scott Clarkson is a young and often fragile journalist, whose mid-twenties have yet to produce a clear distinction between dependency and love. Dissatisfied by his current relationship—a complicated and secretive affair with a charismatic art teacher—Scott uses a chance encounter with an old high school crush as an escape to a place where desire and affection can be confused, and gratification replaces trust. Removed from the life and circumstances that have kept him emotionally stunted, Scott’s understanding of love loses balance and he discovers that maturity and pain are not exclusive.
