Los Angeles, 1973. Gary Valentine, adolescente intraprendente e fanfarone, incontra Alana Kane, venticinquenne sul cammino dell'indipendenza. Lei gli porge specchio e pettine per la foto dell'annuario scolastico, lui le dichiara il suo amore eterno. Lei rifiuta e lui insiste. In cosa crede Gary? A cosa si oppone Alana? Dieci anni li separano ma tutto sembra unirli. Irresistibilmente attratti l'uno dall'altra, non sanno come amarsi, non sanno nemmeno se si amano o se amano soltanto l'idea di amarsi. Tra choc petrolifero, e crepuscolo della Hollywood classica, il loro ipotetico grande amore parte, avanza, sterza, vaga, sosta, svolta, si riallinea in fondo alla notte e alla San Fernando Valley.
