Edie Falco stars in this compelling story of two teenage friends exploring their emerging sexuality: Greg, by having an affair with his friend's mother -- a woman twice his age -- and Denise, by sleeping with another girl. Eager to reach adulthood, each must first learn to deal with the consequences of leaving behind the simplicity and safety of childhood. Sam Trammell and Colleen Werthmann co-star in this entertaining and insightful indie drama.

A handful of Minneapolis teenagers, just out of high school and on the cusp of adult responsibilities, try to sort out their messy romantic and emotional lives in this independent comedy/drama.

The film takes place at the vulnerable time of passage between childhood and adulthood. It's the summer of his high school graduation and Greg is headed off to college. Greg had developed a crush on his mother's old girlfriend, Evelyn, who is more than twice his age and lives across the street. This crush develops into a full-fleshed love affair in the heat of summer, much to the horror of both families, in particular Greg's mother. Meanwhile, down the street, Greg's long time friend Rebecca comes out as a lesbian through her relationship with Denise. As the lives of these kids are fast becoming very complicated, they must prepare to leave the nest of their parents and the place of their childhood. A powerful relationship drama, merges between Welcome to the Dollhouse and Notes on a Scandal, from director JEFF LIPSKY (Flannel Pajamas).
