Farm boy Ethan Sterling is holding onto the last threads of summer as his senior year slowly approaches. Teenage fling Melanie Jackson can't find the words to tell Ethan she's starting to feel more than a sexual relationship between the two - so she tries to express the true warmth in her heart. Ethan thinks she's playing him when she displays those acts of kindness, and distances himself from it. One day, Ethan will wake up, and won't know Melanie's name.
