In a sun-soaked, late-1980s Chicago, a unlikely trio of teenagers discovers a forgotten arcade tucked behind a laundromat, where neon lights hum like a heartbeat and every cassette crackles with promise. As summer unfolds, they form a makeshift crew bonded by secrecy, music, and the thrill of rebellion against their small-town expectations. Through a series of misadventures at roller rinks, skate parks, and basement sofas, they chase a fleeting dream of belonging and first loves that flicker and flare like strobe-lit memories. A tender coming-of-age journey about friendship, courage, and the pulsing beat of a formative era.
