June 6, 1961: Sam leaps into Cam Wilson, a pimply teenager who is regularly bullied by his peers for his geeky appearance and the fact he drives the slowest car on the boulevard. Cam's older sister, Cheryl, is engaged to a seemingly decent guy named Bob, who Sam discovers is actually an abusive alcoholic. Haunted by memories of his own sister's brief marriage to a similarily abusive man, Sam is determined to stop the wedding.
