Mason is young, and he hangs out with kids who are into bad music and bad haircuts. He lives in sunny California with his best friend, Jack, and spends his nights acting stupid in punk rock clubs. The two most important things in his life are the girl who makes his heart beat at erratic speeds and the band with the strange boy he knows from high school - both of whom lead lives far more interesting than the one he leads himself. Still, for all intents and purposes, the world is an open door just waiting for Mason to walk inside. But that's all about to change. The punk life is about to come crashing down on him in a barrage of angry fists and stomping feet. The safe niche Mason has precariously carved for himself is not as safe as it seems, and before he knows it, he finds himself out on his own, looking for a new place to belong.
