📘 Set in Chicago at the turn of the millennia, The Perfect Island is the story of four young adults - Stephan, Tom, Kelly and Matt - who join an environmental group with hopes to change the world. Through their experiences they become close friends and endure great sorrow, yet ultimately choose different paths in their lives. In an age of environmental uncertainty and a world in which the truth about climate change is often dictated by politics and the media, the four characters struggle (as many of us do) to understand what is happening to our planet, how much of it is due to mankind, and what they can do to make a difference (if anything). Each character in The Perfect Island represents the different voices in our own heads and the different choices we can make toward our planet.
