Shutter speed

Living alone with his silent father and the shadow cast by his long-dead mother, Dustin waits, wanting only to slip under the radar and survive what's left of high school and through his work at the photo lab. Then one Sunday, a single photo gets stuck in the processor and it changes everything: the bike in the picture is decent—a Ducati Monster 620, cherry red—and the woman, Terri Pavish, beside it is striking too. What begins then as an innocent curiosity in her photography, her freedom, her speed, becomes something else and the past swings full-circle to haunt him. "Dustin is an outsider. Living alone with his silent father and the shadow cast by his long-dead mother, he has learned to shut himself off from his emotions. But when Terry stumbles into his life, things go from black and white to colour. He becomes obsessed with her photography, her freedom, her need for speed and their lives entangle. Oblivious to the romantic attentions of his best friend Jasmine, Dustin only has eyes for Terry as the past comes full-circle to haunt him"-- Provided by publisher
