Bel Ami meets the Mission District in this May­ December romance. Mop-top Eban visits his parents for the holidays in a small coastal Washington town. Fleeing Seattle, where he coached high school soccer, he lands in his parents' icy household. With no friends or connections, hipster Eban takes to cruising the local used record store. There he spots Charley, the skater boy of his dreams. He befriends the boy, and they bond over music and American Sign Language (Charley is hearing impaired, Eban signs a little).

Soon, the two embark on a languorous courtship. Inseparable, they ride bikes, hike the beach, and strip down to their boxers to practice chords on the guitar. Doe-eyed Charley shares his artwork, Eban teaches him to play guitar. It's all Simpatico, except that Eban is on the cusp of 30, while Charley is celebrating his 15th birthday. Inevitably, both families discov­er their relationship and set out to punish them. Eban tries to distance himself from Charley for his own good, and to avoid jail, but finds it impossible.
