Oreland PA, 1980s: Schoolboy, Garvey Nolan, is haunted by an omnipresent man that takes Polaroids of him from afar. For local parents, the man is Kratz Kova, an esteemed philanthropist and golf pro. For Garvey, the man's a lunatic that stalks him in an Alfa Romeo.

Threatened by Kova, Garvey remains quiet. He takes refuge in the brotherhood of friends. But when they escalate from town pranksters to vandals, mischief blurs into malice. Reluctant to partake, Garvey confides in his tomboy crush, Emma O'Sullivan. Grown older, the crew sneak out of their homes at night. A nearby golf course becomes the ultimate playground and rendezvous hideout, a hundred acre stage for destruction.

As Garvey works as a caddie, he becomes privy to Kova's criminal mind. Blackmailed, Garvey strives to end his own delinquent ways, risking his cherished friendships. He craves an escape from tainted Oreland for a simple life with Emma. And he wonders what one last gag could make Kova's dominance vanish...forever.
