Emily (Zola Grimmer) can’t help but be forthcoming when, in a juvenile game of truth or dare at a party, she’s asked to confess her biggest regret. She first opts for a harmless revelation, but when probed, she admits to having taken someone’s life by accident. The night will end with another unexpected death under her watch. That’s the tragic setup to Avalon Fast’s “Camp,” a transfixing and tonally mischievous tale of sisterhood forged from trauma, grief and witchcraft. But before the explicitly otherworldly takes over, a despondent Emily arrives at a summer camp for troubled children where she’ll work as one of the counselors. It’s ironic that she’ll be providing support to younger kids in her state. The hope is that being among peers in darkness might bring out some light.
