No one but us

the long version

With his mother in the hospital after a botched suicide attempt, fifteen-year-old Charlie goes to live with his mother's best friend, twenty-six-year-old Jolene. Jolene warns, "You are not taking advantage of this situation, Charlie." But somewhere in the midst of tickle fights and hugging and joking around, Jolene's guardianship of Charlie unravels, and soon they are both irrevocably lost in an affair that neither one is ready for, but that neither one is ready to resist. Three years later, Charlie's life has lost direction. And on his first date with Angel - his first date since the affair - he finds himself retelling the whole sordid story. "You two are still in love," Angel says. And maybe they still are. So Charlie packs Angel's car, and together they set out on a roadtrip to San Francisco to find Jolene and end it with her forever.
