A shy 14-year-old boy is forced to spend his summer at a beach house with his mother and her overbearing new boyfriend. He finds refuge at a nearby water park, where he gets a job and befriends the park's charismatic and irresponsible manager. This newfound friendship gives him the confidence to navigate the complexities of his family life and come into his own.
