What Wild Women Do

Rowan is at a crossroads in her life. Newly engaged and recently having turned 30, she aspires to be a screenwriter, but complications in her life have extinguished her creative spark. Rowan and her fiancé head to the Adirondacks to spend a month in a remote cabin while they rekindle their muses and work on their writing. On a walk in the woods, they discover an abandoned camp and some artifacts belonging to Edith “Eddie” Callaway, the eccentric camp owner who went missing in 1975. Rowan soon becomes insatiably curious about what happened to Eddie, who led women’s retreats at her camp and embraced 1970s feminism. She reads Eddie’s “Wild Women’s Handbook,” discovered in the deteriorating camp, and seeks out people who remember Eddie. Eddie’s personality resonates deeply with Rowan, and soon, her drive to discover what happened to Eddie leads her on her own path of self-discovery. The story is told in alternating viewpoints, with powerful emotive performances by Karissa Vacker as Rowan and Hillary Huber as Eddie.
