Thirteen-year-old David Kealoha dreams of escaping rural Hawaii. But when Jonah Morris, a white kid from Phoenix, Arizona moves into the neighborhood, tragedy strikes, irrevocably changing the trajectory of David’s life and those closest to him.
Another pedestrian has been hit along Twygate Boulevard, this time at the intersection of Juniper Lane. It is the fifth time in three years, and all of its victims have been the elderly. The “answer” to the problem is to put up yet another traffic light that will en-snarl traffic. While everyone agrees the “old folks” should have a safe access over a busy thoroughfare, a group of young people have had enough. They believe the answer to really protecting these seniors is to change their lifestyles and habits instead. Their appearance at the neighborhood board meeting will transform the usual rubber stamp agenda into a manic evening of misstatements and misinterpretation. A sidesplitting comedy of humans being human, “Juniper Lane” takes a funny, fresh new look at the generation gap.
