Nostalgic and bittersweet, the film transports viewers into the life of fourteen-year-old Dani Trant, who is just beginning to navigate the complexities of adolescence.

Against the backdrop of picturesque countryside, Dani finds herself captivated by her neighbor, Court Foster, an intriguing and older teenage boy.
