A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy-drama about friendship tested by romance and ambition during one transformative summer in 1990s Nebraska.

Inseparable best friends AJ and Moose decide to run the local pool's snack shack after their plan to sell home-brewed beer goes down the drain. Things take a turn when they meet Brooke, an effortlessly cool lifeguard who puts their big plans, and friendship, at risk.
