In the middle of Des Plaines Illinois three boys find themselves in a tangled knot of angsty lust and amateur love. 

Evan Webster has an average American life. When he isn't at swim practice or the movie theater, he's trying to make time to study biology. He likes Spiderman comics, chocolate chip cookies, and kissing Danny Herrera. 

Danny Herrera rarely smiles in public. His parents rely on him to help run the family business and take care of his many siblings so his life mainly consists of fixing cars and keeping his head down. His talents include: picking locks, punching people, and cursing in front of elders. In private he lets Evan soften his hard exterior with faint kisses and wandering hands. 

Jackson Dougherty is Evan Webster's rival. Every year the two boys compete to earn a place in the Swimming State Championships. Evan is always prepared to compete against Jackson in the pool, but he never expected to compete with Jackson for Danny's heart. 

Unfolding in the early 1980s, the story of these three boys is turbulent complex and unpredictable until the very end.

He was his mother's third child trying his best to keep his life private as he resided far away from his family.

It was nothing too fancy, but to him the long road and the basketball court right across from his home was fascinating, especially on Saturdays. On Saturdays, the court boomed with people and if Austin payed close attention, he could hear the sound of the basketball dribbling. He fancied the people and what they do, but he also fancied a certain boy who always looked so concentrated and determined to end with the win. The boy was tall and handsome, everything that fed to Austin's desires and before he knew it, he was crushing hard. Saturday after Saturday, he stood on his balcony and watched attentively until one day the unexpected happens. The court boy waves Austin over and not only could Austin not stop himself from rushing down into the court, he also couldn't stop the drama that would unfold.
