Young love leads to bad choices in this tale of juvenile delinquency on the south shore of Long Island, New York in the 1970s.
"All I wanted in the summer of '75 was for Susie Orlock to like me, really like me. I wanted Susie Orlock to love me. I'd hold my pillow in bed at night and pretend it was her. I wanted to walk around the streets of downtown Rockland Park with my arm around her waist, to buy her pizza at Mario's and play Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin songs on the jukebox, and sit in a booth like the big kids. I wanted to buy a cherry Italian ice and share it with her in the alley between the pizzeria and the Baskin Robbins, wanted both of us to lick it at the same time until we were kissing. I asked Susie if she wanted to be my girlfriend, but she said we were just friends. I hoped I could find a way to change her mind."
