In the summer of [[TheEighties 1984]], in the sleepy suburb of Ipswich, Oregon, near Cape May, David "Davey" Armstrong (Verchere), age fifteen, is spending his days flinging papers from his bike on his paper route, hanging out with his gang of friends - Tommy "Eats" Eaton, Dale "Woody" Woodworth, and Curtis Farraday (Lewis, Emery and Gruter-Andrew) - and pining over his crush on his former babysitter (and eighteen-year-old total babe) Nikki (Skovbye). At night, he plays Manhunt, a form of group hide-and-seek played in the twilight hours.
