Summer of Blooms
When ambitious but work-loathing teen Tucker Holland is sent to live with his grandmother on the coast, he sees his punishment as a blessing instead as he becomes closer than ever to achieving his dream of being a surfer. Once he makes it to the sand with his newly-bought surfboard, however, he finds a crowd that's a whole lot different than what he imagined in his dreams. A group of bigger, more experienced surfers are quickly determined to undermine him every chance they get, and Tucker decides he'll do anything in his power to prove himself... no matter how dangerous.
Setting: The small coastal town of Stingbush, California, 1964
