Set in Chicago's Jewish neighborhood of
West Rogers Park, this is the story of three families--adults
and children alike--coming of age during the tumultuous, turbulent
days of the Iran hostage crisis. At the close of the 1970s,
the Rovners, the Wasserstroms, and the Wills-Silvermans will
have to shed their pasts to cross into that new, shining decade
of hope: the 80s.
