In 1963 Brooklyn, Jeffrey Willis has just finished high school and isnt quite sure what the future holds. His parents expect him to go to college, but he is starting to find his close-knit family stifling. He gets a summer job at the Flamingo beach club where he meets Phil Brody, a successful car dealer who fills his head with ideas about how to make his fortune. Phil is everything Jeffrey would like to be: popular, rich, and the best gin rummy player the club has ever seen. Jeffreys coming-of-age includes a romance with the very pretty Carla Samson, but the shine on Phil Brodys philosophy of life wears off when he uncovers a significant flaw in his character.
In 1963 Brooklyn, Jeffrey feels boxed-in in his home, life, and dreams. At the Flamingo beach club his eyes are opened to a world filled with what he sees as beautiful people with perfect lives. He turns his back on his family in pursuit of Easy Street. Jeffrey falls in love with pretty beach girl Carla and appears to be on his way to a cushy job selling sports cars for the slick Mr. Brody. It all begins to fall apart when Jeffrey suspects that Mr. Brody misled him. Jeffrey must finally choose between his dreams and honor. He returns to his family, which he now sees not as a box, but as a foundation.
