A legend in his own neighborhood.

Overview

Brooklyn teenager Jeffrey Willis, thoroughly unhappy with his modest homestead, embraces the other-world aspects of his summer job at the posh Flamingo Club.

But thanks to a couple of late-summer hard lessons, the teen eventually realizes that family should always come first.
