A warm, playful coming-of-age comedy about a ten-year-old's first crush in Manhattan, balancing innocent humor with genuine emotional discovery.

Ten-year-old Gabe Burton is just an average kid growing up in Manhattan until Rosemary Telesco walks into his karate class. But before Gabe can tell Rosemary how he feels, she reveals that she won't be going to public school any more. Gabe has a lot more to learn about life, love, and girls.
