Love, art, sex, and rock 'n' roll! Nic’s comfortable suburban life is
thrown into upheaval the morning after her high school graduation. A
careless but egregious crime dashes the homecoming queen's plans of
going off to college and leaves her family, the neighborhood’s new black
sheep, struggling socially and financially. Come August, Nic is left
behind by her friends — including her boyfriend — as they head to Austin
for college while her circumstances force her to enter the bizarre
purgatory that is community college. As she schemes to escape, she takes
refuge under the most unlikely of wings — those belonging to a trio of
third and fourth-year freshmen ghosting the halls of the community
college, borderline burnouts she used to ignore as they smoked under the
bleachers in high school. These aimless but talented musicians and
artists take it upon themselves to show her parts of the city she’s
never experienced before and teach her how to stretch a dollar. One, a
rock singer from the poorer side of town, sets his sights on winning
her, despite her goal of reuniting with her boyfriend in Austin. As Nic
experiences real independence and self-expression for the first time,
she must decide whether the life she’d been building is worth saving, or
if it’s better to let it fall apart so she can reconstruct it from
scratch.
My Cousin Taylor, me and Kelly were talking about how proud we are of Nathan because... you know how you meet all kinds of people who say they are "writers" but they don't really write... Well, our friend is a writer and he actually wrote a book and so far it's keeping our interest. Kelly and I were both in bed the other night (slumber party) and we kept laughing out loud because it brings you back in time to certain situations...like running from the cops! Ha Ha!
