It was the summer of 1959. Life was simple. When you're this young, the summer is full of promise. And no one ever forgets that very first love. The type of love you look back on in your old age, a love that seems like it is the only thing that would ever matter, and a love that you will never forget whether it worked out or not. And it was this hot summer of 1959, in a little town of Castle Rock, Oregon, that these four twelve year old boys experienced theirs, for better or worse.
