In 1983, 13-year-old Oliver Nicholas is well-poised to enter the precocious teenage world of first-time sex, alcohol and love in New York City when the housekeeper who has raised him has a traumatizing stroke. Oliver struggles through attacks of mania, drunkenness, first love, betrayal, migraine-inducing masturbation, virginity and the loss of a close friend, all in the hopes of surviving this New York-style baptism by fire.
