Plot summary
In Nelsonville, Ohio, in 1956, the relationship between the introverted, clumsy Jonathan Bellah and the nonconformist, extroverted Eugene "Gene" Harbrough develops. Jonathan's main objective is to win over the sexy Marilyn McCauley, in spite of his shyness, while Gene has his own love life to maintain with his crush, Bunny Miller, who reciprocates his feelings, as well as counseling Jonathan on how to attract women. Gene also has to defend Jonathan and himself from the wealthy class bully, Kenny, Bunny's jealous jock boyfriend, while trying to work out a borderline relationship with his widowed father, who has zero tolerance for his often wild escapades.
