In suburban Chicago, teenagers Jade Butterfield ... and David Axelrod fall in love and develop an all-consuming and passionate relationship. Jade's family is known in their community for a bohemian lifestyle; they allow the two to make love in Jade's bedroom. In contrast to the openness of her family, David's home life is dull; his parents are wealthy political activists who are not actively involved in his life.
