Synopsis

Frankie, an aimless teenager living on the outer edges of Brooklyn, is having a troublesome summer. With his father dying and his mother wanting him to find a girlfriend, he tries to escape the bleakness of his home life by causing trouble with his delinquent friends and flirting with older men online. When his chatting and webcamming intensify, he finally starts hooking up with guys at a nearby cruising beach while simultaneously entering into a cautious relationship with a young woman. As Frankie struggles to reconcile his competing desires, his decisions leave him hurtling toward irreparable consequences.
