| Four teenage best friends since birth spend their first summer apart, and they stay connected by sharing a pair of jeans that amazingly fit them all in their various shapes and sizes. They send each other the pants and letters about their summer adventures, which include: attending soccer camp in Mexico and developing a crush on a coach that could move too fast; visiting grandparents in Greece where art, solitude, romance, family, and the future are discovered; visiting Dad in another city to discover he's getting re-married; and staying at home for the summer only to make an unexpected friend who teaches them about life and loss. | ||
