Rick sat back and looked at Kylie. 'Sweetheart, he's one of my oldest and best friends. I can't just 'not' see him anymore."

Traveling through his old hometown on a photo assignment, photographer Rick Gaines stops in Zephyrhills, Florida, to visit his old friends, Mit Suggs and Bobby Lowe.

Rick wants a career in New York until he runs into Kylie Simmons, an old friend from high school. Mit Suggs, the redneck, wants to drink beer and chase women-until he meets Kylie's older sister, Trina. Bobby Lowe, the mama's boy, works at his mother's Laundromat and soon joins the army.

The friends pick up their relationship where they left off, and things seem to be the same. But something is about to change, taking each of them to new highs and, ultimately, to a tragic low.
