Gus Van Sant returns to Portland, scene of his greatest film My Own Private Idaho, for this tale of moral delinquency. A teen skateboarder, Alex (Gabe Nevins), falls in with a dangerous crowd and finds himself involved in a fatal accident.

Filming in his characteristically dreamy, dislocated fashion, Van Sant seems as interested in the innocently beautiful face of his young star as he is in the docu-style story-telling.
