Set in a small Texas town during the early 1950s, the story follows a group of high school friends as they navigate the challenges of adolescence, relationships, and the changing social landscape. The film captures the essence of small-town life and the impact of a fading cinema on the community. The film features notable performances by actors such as Timothy Bottoms, Jeff Bridges, and Cybill Shepherd. It explores themes of nostalgia, loss, and the passage of time, ultimately reflecting on the end of an era in both personal and communal contexts.
