In the last summer of the 1970's in California, fraternal twins Josh and Kate Tobias are unsure of what they want to do with their lives after graduating from college. Josh, who yearns to be a writer, shoots the breeze at the local pub, playing pool with his childhood friends (pothead Geoff Wyatt, construction worker Luke Mosley, and Luke's pregnant wife Beth) and pining over his longtime crush Amanda Harper, an aspiring musician already in an on-again, off-again relationship with the town's bowling king, Steve Yeager. Kate, on the other hand, works a mundane nine-to-five job, waitressing at a crummy diner along with Beth and the cynical, acid-tongued Phoebe Dolan. Meanwhile, the twins' father Rick, a grizzled factory worker who lost his wife five years ago, finds himself reconnecting with his high school sweetheart, impassioned union member Elaine Novak. As the summer days wind down, the paths they forge lead them to roads they never expected to cross.
