Plot summary
Over one summer in Louisiana, Joey and Sissel fall into a consuming first relationship. Joey comes from Brooklyn; Sissel is local. In their house on stilts beside the river, the couple do little but talk and have sex, and Sissel's younger brother Adrian interrupts them from time to time. Sissel's parents are divorced, and her father, Henry, a veteran of the Vietnam War, takes a liking to Joey; the pair consider trapping eels to sell on to sushi restaurants. Attraction leaves the two oblivious to what is around them, and jealousy and communication issues begin to work their way into the affair.
