Birch Hills at World’s End begins between Detroit and nowhere, in 1999,
when high school senior Josh Reilly senses an apocalypse approaching.
Josh's unease increases as his privileged but disturbed friend Erik schemes
in a journal he calls "The Doomsday Book," where he plots revenge against
the suburbia he's learned to despise. When Lindsay, a sixteen-year-old
famed for dramatic self-mutilation and questionable poetry, becomes
Josh's girlfriend, Erik finds companionship in a circle of bikers and small-
time meth traffickers. Josh, suspecting his friend Erik has become a
competitor for Lindsay's affections, peeks into the Doomsday Book and is
shocked by what he learns. A web of domestic strife, romantic rivalry, and
millennial anxiety challenges two boys to stand together as their youth
comes apart.
Columbine... Y2K... can friendships survive the end of the world?
