Free-spirited fifteen-year-old Connie Wyatt may be too young to drive, but she's already driving the boys crazy and now anxious to escape the boredom of family farm life. Her suspicious mother wants to keep her safely at home, but Connie would rather while away the languid summer days hanging out with her friends and flirting with boys at the local burger stand. But when she flirts with a handsome and mysterious stranger named Arnold Friend, she finds herself in dangerous waters and must prepare herself for the frightening and traumatic consequences. Based on the short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates.
