A breezy, affectionate teen romance built on the clash between valley conformity and punk authenticity, driven by charm and period-specific style.

Julie, a girl from the valley, meets Randy, a punk from the city. They are from different worlds and find love. Somehow they need to stay together in spite of her trendy, shallow friends.
