This is the story of the Berglunds, their son Joey, their daughter Jessica and their friend Richard Katz. It is about how we use and abuse our freedom; about the beginning and ending of love; teenage lust; the unexpectedness of adult life; why we compete with our friends; how we betray those closest to us; and why things almost never work out as they ‘should’. It is a story about the human heart, and what it leads us to do to ourselves and each other.

Jessica: Mom, I made life so easy for you. I don’t do drugs, I don’t do any of the shit Joey does, I don’t embarrass you, I don´t create scenes, I never did any of that. But then don´t complain if I have my own life and my own friends and don´t feel like suddenly rearranging everything for you. You get all the benefits of me taking care of myself, the least you can do is not make me feel guilty about it
