It's 1998 and architecture student Ally Acker is sure a summer at an archeological dig in rural Turkey is the perfect thing for her, now that she's finished her master of architecture degree. Her new romantic interest will be there. And she can put off adulting and leave her overbearing Jewish parents and their expectations behind in New York.
But she wasn't expecting there's more dirt to uncover about the dig crew than there is covering the ruins! Amid basic conditions (can somebody get this girl a shower?) and regular threat of death by scorpion, Ally's got to navigate the over the top crew and their petty drunken dramas, hoping she's not in over her head.
