Set in 1969, a twelve-year-old grows up in Key West with his mother, who is paying the bills by stripping at the local topless bar. The boy finds out about her activities and tries to convince her to stop, to no avail. A local restaurant owner hires him to collect fish from a boat out in the bay, and the boy discovers that the restaurant owner is using the fish to bring drugs in to shore. He steals one load and goes about selling it so his mother can afford to quit her job.
After being decommissioned, Lt. John Cross with the US Navy, he a bomber pilot during the Vietnam War, moved his family from Texas to Key West, Florida. A specific event in the war left him scarred emotionally, and as such abandoned the family in Key West to live in a monastery in order to cleanse his soul. Its now the summer of 1969. Life for his wife, Tracy Cross, and their now twelve year old son, Chris Cross, largely revolves around the Eden Hotel where they live and where Tracy works waiting tables during the day, that job which reduces their rent. Tracys dream is to save enough money to buy a house to be able to move from the hotel. Chris, who loves and misses his father and still expects him to come home one day, wants to do whatever he can to achieve this dream by working a series of odd jobs himself, although Tracy tells him that the money he earns is his and his alone. Without telling Chris, Tracy, much against the abhorrent thought of it, accepts the job to replace departing Monica, one of the strippers where she tends bar at night, that stripper job which will net her five times what she currently makes. Tracy and Chris already complicated life becomes more complicated: as Chris has his first case of puppy love, with an older "woman", Termina, who is one year ahead of him in school; when he discovers that his mother is working as a stripper; as Joe, a seemingly unemployed vacationer, enters their life, he the first man who has piqued her romantic interest since the divorce; and as Chris, on one of his odd jobs, stumbles upon what he believes is an opportunity for them to get out from under their financial burden, an opportunity, in Chris naive childs view, which he is somewhat oblivious is fraught with adult dangers.
