In a world of endless summer and effortless play, 13-year-old Jeannie finds it difficult to fit in. On this hot summer day, during an ordinary game of hide and seek, Jeannie finds herself under the bed with her 16-year-old neighbor— and the childish game quickly becomes an ambiguous sexual encounter. Confused, Jeannie turns to the one person she trusts, her Dominican nanny, only to realize that her love for her is more than just filial. Not knowing how to make sense of her feelings, she acts in ways that leave her isolated and alone, unable to give up the innocent eccentricities of her childhood.
