Summer in a small southern town: Grace wants to go to college, but her feckless mom has poisoned that well (no student loans because mom has welshed on credit cards in Grace’s name). Dorian wants to escape from his snobbish adoptive parents. They team up to sell marijuana - she hopes for enough to go to college. Both investigate family secrets, and things get complicated when Dorian falls for her, Grace falls for someone else, and Grace’s 15-year-old sister behaves badly. Can Dorian find independence and Grace get to college? And what constitutes a family, anyway?

Eva Amurri is Susan Sarandon’s daughter & Tim Robbins step-daughter. She hasn’t acted much in about a decade & is better known as a writer, but when she was younger she did this flick with her mom as her mom, Willa Holland as her little sis & Anton Yelchin as her friend.
It’s very good, centering around them both as they work at a water park & hustle on the side. She & Anton are co-leads & it’s her strongest role. Before this she was in The Banger Sisters with her mom & Goldie Hawn, then also Saved, Animals, Earthly Possessions, Life Before Her Eyes, New York I Love You, Stag & Californiacation (juicy part in that one). She was also in The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe where she plays Norma Jean’s crazy mom.
