Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1991. High school freshman Charlie is a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines, until two senior students, Sam and her stepbrother Patrick, become his mentors, helping him discover the joys of friendship, music and love.
Charlie navigates the quiet ache of being an observer until two charismatic seniors pull him into the dizzying warmth of friendship and mixtapes. This nostalgic trip through 1990s Pittsburgh captures the precise, fragile moment when being seen finally outweighs the safety of staying hidden.
