简介：Once every lifetime, choices turn to pathways that can only lead in one direction. That's fate. What you will do with fate is your future. Since his high school graduation, David Kaplan feels like he's worked every single day of his life. That's because he has. Paper routes, car washes, baby sitting, shoe shines... anything to help him get money for college - the only thing he knows might give him a way out of Brooklyn, New York 1963. Hot, crowded, working class, not even close to being cool. But everything's going just great, until one day. David finds that his parents have used his school savings to bail out his uncle's troubles. His money gone, David now has one short summer to pull together tuition for school or he'll be drafted. But he can't find work, it's too late, all the summer jobs are taken. Then his friend Jerry Sanders, helps him scam a position he has absolutely zero qualifications for: a waiter in an upstate resort where Jerry works. It ain't the Ritz, as they say, and it's not much money, but it's all he's got to work with. Mix one best friend, a girlfriend, a little betrayal, a mobster, constant grueling work, the woman you want to marry, sex, the owner's daughter, the owner's wife, more sex, and a tyrant boss. All of them dancing to seductive Latin rhythm's in a beautiful mountain resort. Now turn up the heat and the musical beat for just one summer because it is... THE SUMMER BEFORE FOREVER. That single space in time after which your life is never the same.
