Everyone has that one summer.

It's 1997 and Charlie Lewis is stuck. School is over, his family is breaking up, his father is falling apart and the long, empty holidays stretch ahead towards an uncertain future.

And then, quite by chance, Charlie meets Fran Fisher and it's as if a new world has opened before him.

But can it last?

Twenty years later, Charlie tells the story.
