Movie Info

In 1950s British Columbia, 12-year-old Sandy Wilcox (Margaret Langrick) longs for adventure and acknowledgment of her impending adulthood, and she finds both in spades with her cousin Butch (John Wildman), several years her elder. He arrives unexpectedly from America, introduces her to rock music and makes her swoon.
