PLOT:
In New York City, Karen is a streetwise teen from a working class family. Karen pursues a friendship with 11-year-old Lonnie after Lonnie watches Karen and her brother Johnny playing a game outside of their apartment while Lonnie is on her way to day camp. Lonnie is from an upper-class family. As their friendship develops over the course of the summer, they expose each other to the very different lifestyles they live. In the process, they learn lessons each culture has to offer. The situation becomes complicated when Karen's brother, Johnny, shows interest in Lonnie and Lonnie begins to develop a crush on him. Soon, a sensual new neighbor moves into Karen's apartment building, and Johnny becomes slightly infatuated with her. Circumstances arise that test Karen and Lonnie's friendship.
