Good kids, small-town fun and unconditional love

Scott, Pete, Eldon and Lanny share fun and friendship as the "ButterCream Gang" in the small town of Elk Ridge. The group is temporarily separated when Pete moves to Chicago for the second year and falls under the influence of a local gang. When he returns to Elk Ridge unexpectedly, his friends notice he has changed. As Pete struggles, old friendships are challenged and the boys learn the true meaning of unconditional love.
