About

In 1960s Chicago, a high-school graduate weighs his father's business-college plan, his wealthy girlfriend's move to Hawaii, and a future of his own.

In the early 1960s, in a wealthy suburb of Chicago, seventeen-year-old Jimmy Reardon (River Phoenix) is finishing high school and resisting the life his father, accountant Al Reardon (Paul Koslo), has in mind for him. His girlfriend, Lisa Bentwright (Meredith Salenger), comes from a wealthy family and is preparing to study in Hawaii. Jimmy's parents will pay for tuition only if he attends the same business college as his father, but he does not want that path. Instead he tries to raise money for a plane ticket to Hawaii with Lisa. Around him are his upper-class friend Fred Roberts (Matthew Perry), Fred's girlfriend Denise Hunter (Ione Skye), and his mother's friend Joyce Fickett (Ann Magnuson); his mother Faye is played by Jane Hallaren.
