A tender, intimate portrait of first love in a small Southern town, where a reformed womanizer and an innocent young woman discover genuine connection amid family conflict and personal transformation.

In a sleepy little mill town in North Carolina, Paul is the town Romeo. But when his best friend's sister returns home from boarding school, he finds himself falling for her innocent charm. In spite of her lack of experience and the violent protests of her brother, the two find themselves in a sweet, dreamy and all-consuming love.
