A small Texan town, the early 1950s: besides graduation, three drifter teens - the enigmatic Sonny (Timothy Bottoms), the wayward jock Duane (Jeff Bridges), and the desperate-to-be-adored rich girl Jacy (Cybil Shepherd) - face the usual adolescent problems of parents, confusing sexual intrigue and the limitations of life in the sticks.
