Introduction
What Molly assumed would be a relaxing day at a deserted beach turns into a completely surreal experience. Once strange, seemingly out-of-place characters show up at the beach and start interacting with her, Molly panics. What she doesn’t know is that yet another character is going to join and show in the most unexpected way, who really is out of place. This final encounter will change her perspective and ability to reach acceptance in her heart as well as teach her the concept of unconditional tolerance.
