It's 1954, and Perry Palmer and three friends approach their senior year at New Rose HS. There's a notable absence of drugs, violence and random sex in this era, but everything isn't dullsville. During the year Perry and pals pilfer golf flags and attempt to build their own course, engage in Hellnight and Mad Friday, prowl the local Lover's Lane, and survive multiple sports mishaps. In addition, a curvy French Exchange Student arrives. Soon Perry's entangled in a hushed-up scandal involving Francoise and the devious principal. Should he risk losing a scholarship by squealing? All concludes riotously graduation night.
