Best buddies Dustin (Jansen Panettiere), Albert (Frankie Ryan Manriquez), and Mark (Alan Isaacson)are twelve year old boys looking forward to a summer of fun in 1970.

Dustin has a crush on Tanya (Bailey Garno) and wants to ask her out on a date, something he has never done before. His main obstacle though is the town bully, Nick (Taylor Boggan), who also likes Tanya.
