A warm, energetic coming-of-age story about Chicago high school friendships that balances youthful joy and camaraderie with the sobering weight of injustice and growing up.

In the mid-1960s, a group of high school friends who live on the Near North Side of Chicago enjoy life to the fullest...parties, hanging out, meeting new friends. Then life changes for two of the guys when they are falsely arrested in connection with stealing a Cadillac. We follow their lives through to the dramatic end of high school.
