Campfires

Set in the sweltering summer of 1969, Florida, Campfires follows eighteen-year-old Kaylen as she adjusts to life in a new lakeside town with her emotionally distant father. She quickly forms bonds with a group of charismatic campground workers—deepening friendships, budding romance, and idyllic camp nights masking something far more sinister. As secrets begin to unravel, Kaylen uncovers the group’s mistreatment of others and falls under the manipulative spell of Raymo, a charming but dangerous outsider with ties to the past. When blackmail, betrayal, and violence erupt, Kaylen is forced into an impossible position—risk everything to expose the truth or remain silent to survive. This coming-of-age thriller explores the fragility of trust, the price of secrets, and the chilling line between innocence and complicity. Campfires is a haunting, emotionally-charged debut long after the final page.
