SYNOPSIS
Being a teenager is hard enough without your mother in rehab and your slightly inept stepfather doing his best not to screw things up. But at least Coy has Monroe. Coy is a quirky teenage boy and his best friend, Monroe, is a girl who is just as odd and funny and obsessed with eighties culture as he is. So when Monroe comes down with a mysterious illness, Coy’s inner turmoil only grows. As Monroe gets sicker and Coy gets a girlfriend from another social crowd, the balance tips and Coy has to figure out how not to give up on his friend, his family, or himself.
