Beschreibung
Corey Jameson, a popular high school senior, star athlete, with a baseball scholarship at San Diego State, is leading an idyllic life in the quiet, conservative community of San Marino. His world is turned upside down with the possibility of a military draft during the time of Vietnam. Corey’s only journey outside his parents’ values, was his exposure to the pre-sixties, hippie precursor lifestyle of the California surfer, and his friendship and fascination with elderly neighbors, Hank and Millie Vincent. Corey comes of age trying to find his own values.He realizes the importance of Hank and Millie as mentors. At the same time, he is forced into being a mentor for Joey, a thirteen-year old street gamin, deserted by his father, and neglected by his mother.Corey enters in a journey of self-discovery whereby he learns that not all questions have satisfactory answers, and at times you must travel forward without the certainty of purpose.
