Trenton Lee Stewart (USA) reads from his novel "Flood Summer"

A self-pronounced loser, a young man sits in a run down trailer in Lockers Creek, hiding from himself and the world. Around him everything he perceives bears witness to his failure. When a steady rain turns into a roaring flood, he finds his way to a young woman and together they venture toward a new beginning. They expose their pasts and their secrets to each other – things they should have kept buried.
