Set in 1988, this story takes place in a quiet Midwestern town where everyone knows everyone. There are no cell phones or social media—plans happen by knocking on doors, calling the house phone, or simply driving around until you find your friends. Cassette tapes, arcades, late-night diners, football games, bonfires, and old pickup trucks define everyday life. Rumors spread fast, reputations stick, and almost every adult knows your parents.
