Reclamation x5 poster final poster abigail johnson

Nina is a seventeen year old whose life is run by five numbers. Her obsessive-compulsive disorder urges her to count everything in five -- from cars on the street to flicks of light switches. Her own mental disorder has taken a backseat to her boyfriend, Zack, however, whose volatile family life and anger issues constantly end up on Nina’s shoulders. When Zack’s mother encourages him to go to a therapy rehabilitation summer program at Camp Kinderhook, Zack urges Nina to attend with him. Nina is put into a group with a counselor and three other young women struggling with various mental health issues, and the five of them begin an intense therapy program. As Nina develops relationships with the other young women in her cabin, she gains new confidence in herself. But as the therapy program becomes strewn with pain, anger, and devastating setbacks, Nina and her fellow campers must learn that healing is not instantaneous, but rather a process of reclaiming their lives step by step, victory by victory.
