The drama of one’s first big crush! Staged with rare sensitivity, it is presented here with all its – very special – promises and challenges.

14-year-old Jamie’s eagerly awaited camping trip with his beloved cousin hasn’t even started that it’s already ruined. The 25-year-old has decided to bring along Dan, her boyfriend. However, Jamie soon starts befriending this older man. Actually, it’s something more than that. Even though his older brother tries to hook him up with one of the girls at the lake, Jamie becomes increasingly aware of the true object of his attraction. Puberty is never not complicated. In this particular instance, Jamie’s first crush only results in more conflicted feelings and urgent questions. Will he be able to figure things out by himself?
