In this magical ode to friendship and innocence, Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton (in her first film appearance) are two outsiders who seek in each other what the outside world denies them.

Synopsis

Newly arrived in an up-market housing development, quiet ten-year-old Devon doesn't quite fit in. Ignoring the urgings of her social-climbing father, Devon chooses the company of Trent, who mows the estate's lawns, rather than of the girls her own age. Their friendship grows during her visits to his trailer home, but although it is completely innocent it is obvious that it would be unacceptable to the residents if they found out.
