Johnny and his pals, Oliver and Ben, could be typical 17-year-old boys, hanging out in Johnny's treehouse and dreaming of talking to the beautiful Alana, were it not for Johnny's insistence that he has the mind of a 53-year-old. 

Johnny's mom is a little worried. Out of the blue, her son is suddenly pulling straight A's, keeping his room immaculate and reading Shakespeare. As Johnny persists in his claim that he's an old man in a teenager's body and conversations in the treehouse become increasingly peppered by the words of the Bard, Johnny grapples simultaneously with adolescence, love and the mind's ability to heal from great loss. 

Through his budding friendship with Alana, Johnny comes to realize the life-affirming power of the eternal summer that shall not fade.
