What Is The Story?

It's deep into the 1970s, and at a run-down summer camp just out of New York, six teenagers are pulled together. Bonding over their troubles and desperation for creativity and meaning, they form a friendship that will last for decades. As the six navigate their way through the twists and turns of their lives in New York, they find that nothing is as simple as it seemed when they were young - and dreams may not be what they were cracked up to be.
