In an American suburb, three friends of 12 years - the shy Jacob, precocious Malee and Leonard emotional - leave abruptly carefree world of childhood following the accidental death of twin brother Jacob.
They experience new feelings: revenge, sorrow at the loss of a friend and the first stirrings of love, without being able to rely on their parents themselves in trouble.
