- Synopsis
- Stacy Halloran has lived most of her life in 1950s-era housing development Arboria Park. But her beloved neighborhood may not survive much longer. Despite her parents&’ entreaties to &“stay in the yard where it&’s safe,&” the Park is where young Stacy roams in quest of &“real life.&” Through her wanderings, she learns about the area&’s agricultural history; meets people from backgrounds different than her own; watches her siblings develop interracial and same-sex relationships; helps launch the local punk-rock scene; and finally, settles as a wife and mother. As the neighborhood declines (along with her relationship with her mother), Stacy considers moving on to rescue herself and her daughter. But then a massive highway project threatens the ever-resilient Park—and it&’s Stacy&’s task to rally family, friends, and neighbors to save it.
