Synopsis
A prom - the climax of lively and painful high school years. Throw in the sexual revolution, a stuttering cousin for a date, and a parking valet dressed like Abraham Lincoln, and looking cool is an impossible dream. The hilarious narrator of our story tries to leave her painful past behind, and find a way to be the free spirit her friends demand. Peach tries, somehow, to be herself.
