A Paradise Built on Lies
Deep in the Montana wilderness, seventeen-year-old Jane lives an isolated existence with her brilliant but increasingly paranoid father. Their 700-square-foot cabin, surrounded by national forest and an hour from the nearest town, is a "paradise" according to her father, but increasingly feels like a prison to Jane. Raised since age four after her mother supposedly died, Jane's entire worldview has been shaped through homeschooling focused on philosophy, libertarian politics, and distrust of modern society. She's learned practical skills like hunting and lock-picking but remains isolated from normal teenage experiences. The cracks in their seemingly idyllic existence begin to show when Jane witnesses her father sabotaging equipment being used to clear-cut the forest for power lines. Though he frames it as protecting nature, it reveals his growing willingness to take destructive action. Their isolation is punctuated by occasional trips to town where Jane's friend Heidi points out that Jane will soon be eighteen and "can't be kept prisoner" - a notion Jane defensively rejects despite never having left the property without her father in thirteen years. As power lines inch closer to their sanctuary, Jane begins to sense that her father's battle against modernity is futile. The world is changing, technology advancing, and their isolated paradise cannot remain untouched forever.
