The sweet, sticky scent of cotton candy fills the air as Candace spins fluffy pink clouds under the bright amusement park lights. But behind the sugary treats, tricky co-workers and mean customers make her summer job tougher than she expected. Amid the chaos, Candace feels herself drifting away from the friend she once trusted the most.
