Meet teenager Harvey Madden, who works as a cashier at a local retailer. One hot, summer day he goes on vacation with his best friend and closest companion, Billy Joe McBain.

Together the two lads venture into the rugged Wallowa Mountains of Eastern Oregon. There, they encounter a number of individuals which alters Harvey's somewhat naïve worldview; a homeless boy seeking a better life in an uncertain future, a lonely widower devastated by the death of his wife, a community staging a fundraiser for a down-and-out couple recovering from a house fire, and finally a multi-racial family who proves that love is love, despite political differences or skin color.

Will Harvey come to accept his true identity and have the courage to make a life-changing revelation to his parents?
