## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Two 1969 teens rebel against the Vietnam era’s dull small-town drone. Ralph clashes with mom’s libido while Scott tussles with dad’s brass; wartime dispatches push town sentiment into sudden shoulder-shrugs. A sudden about-face from the chorus feels less earned than earned by sudden poster changes.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, tender
