An Irish ice cream vendor, a sophisticated lady of the evening, the grocer dad behind the cheese counter, the strict principal of a private Greek school, a mom who picks dandelions for dinner and a young boy named Petros converge in the South Bronx in the 1960s. As young Petros maneuvers the hallways of the Hellenic American School for the Arts, it’s the ice cream man who stops by at recess whom he learns the most from. Just one year shy of making it into high school, Petros challenges the strict rules of his school while also trying to follow the strict rules of his traditional Greek home in a tough neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. When he finally gets the chance to go to the specialized high school his brother now attends, his hopes and efforts are challenged by all the authority figures around him, except for his newfound friend, Mulvaney.
