My Summer Of Kathy

It's 1973 in small town Clarksburg, Iowa, and sixteen-year-old Cos McDhai has high hopes for the upcoming summer break. Having grown tired of fishing, the seemingly endless hours working in the lawnmower shop, and hanging out with the guys on the corner, Cos wishes for something new. Without considering the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for, least it come true," Cos decides he'd like to try his hand at dating.

He wakes up the morning after this hard-sought decision with a weird vibe that he just can't shake. Later, he and his friends witness two unusual incidents from their corner, both happening back-to-back, leaving him to wonder about his mentally unstable mother's occasional comment: "Things always happen in threes!" Cos wasn't sure if she meant good things, bad things, or just... exciting things. The uncertainty ends when a third takes place just minutes later in the form of a small, green car pulling into town with, "The most gorgeous girl he had ever seen!" sitting behind the wheel. With the arrival of Kathy, Cos tumbles headlong into a first love that is all he hoped it would be. Unfortunately, the tumbling, doesn't cease, and a somewhat rattled Cos begins to wonder if it ever will.
