Synopsis

Marvin, a young New Yorker, dreams of writing the great American novel. To attain his dream, he seeks a new start in California, where he becomes enamored with San Francisco's Mission District and the lively youth culture of this scene. Set at the dawn of the dot-com era -- an era that would radically change the Mission District to an entrepreneurial area -- this coming-of-age drama chronicles the changeability of individuals and neighborhoods.
