Rich L.A. party brat Tim spins into a cycle of despair after his parents divorce, and trying to fill the void with drugs and trouble only buys him a ticket to an asylum. But with the help of a psychiatrist who has taken an interest in him, will Tim try to pull himself out of the muck of teenage rebellion and ennui?

In 1970s New York, Martin (Maguire) hopes to locate his father and possibly reunite the parents who have been bitterly separated since he was born.
