Teens Palomma Rossi and Doug Halecki are certain about two things: their interest in and their cluelessness about the opposite sex. Growing up in rural southern New Jersey in the late 1970s, Palomma’s dream of pure love found in her favorite romance novels is cruelly crushed by misogyny and betrayal in real life. The only thing Doug manages to attract are bullies and a local pedophile but certainly not his crush, Christine. The strangest of circumstances at school bring Palomma and Doug together where their laughter and trust in each other help them overcome a world that doesn’t seem to want them. A world where they eventually find a way to live, laugh and like.
