It's 1976 and life is all about rebellion. Mischievous high school sophomore Jay Skibness thinks he has it made: good friends, good times, and good weed. But when Jay's best friend is linked to the murder of a kid from another clique, life suddenly becomes a conflict between conscience and character. While his best friend drowns himself in guilt, Jay escapes into the arms of the free spirited Wendy-the rich girl who thinks he's dangerous. The two form an unlikely bond that turns Jay's laid back lifestyle and loyalties upside down.
