Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Explore a more innocent time in Eugene O'Neill's nostalgic coming-of-age tale about a boy and his first experiences in love and life. It's summer in New England and young Nat Miller is teetering on the edge of adulthood and responsibility. As the carefree Nat dabbles in poetry, politics, and alcohol, the prospect of romance with a beautiful young woman leaves him feeling the highs and lows of love as well.
