After a summer away at camp, Phil returns home to find that his mother and twin sister aren’t speaking to one another. Avoiding family conflict, Phil escapes to hang out with his best friend, Kat, eating ice cream and playing dress-up. As the school year begins, a new student arrives – the handsome and mysterious Nicholas.
