Two New Hampshire teenagers fall into an unlikely relationship as they come together to save a mistreated dog. Whippoorwill is a deeply poignant story about the virulent nature of abuse and the power of human empathy. But in a town that breaks people, what will it cost to show a little mercy? An Animal Rescue Story: Clair can hear the neighbor’s dog whining all night on its chain. But intervening means confronting the Stewarts, the kind of people you’re supposed to leave alone. Troubled Teens: She’s the quiet daughter of a wannabe biker; he’s the neighborhood jerk with a violent father. Neither of them expected to find a friend, especially not in each other. A Gritty Coming of Age: In rural New Hampshire, happy endings are in short supply. Clair must find the courage to do what’s right, even when it puts her in the path of a dangerous man. A Tentative First Love: Their shared mission to save Wally sparks an unlikely connection. But as Danny’s home life explodes, their fragile bond is pushed to the breaking point.
