  • Set in 1959 during a blissful summer of innocence, ""Alligators"" is the coming of age story of Maddy, a teenage girl who has her first romance with carnival worker Will. Meanwhile her roommate, widowed Claire, is pregnant by garage owner Rick, whom she doesn't love or want to be with. The women face choices of pregnancy, abortion, career and loyalty in times that perhaps weren't as idyllic or simple.
