Take a break from your college coursework and spend the summer helping out on a secluded farm.

The air is warm, the horses are quiet, and the people are down-to-earth. Each day brings new tasks, and the work itself is simple, even if the goals are a little unclear. Sometimes, after the sun sets on a productive day, there are even activities to be found in the evenings.

Over the course of fourteen days, it welcomes you into encounters that test your obedience, complicity, and restraint.
