The narrative, which takes place in the year 2029 and beyond, centers on Annie Finelli, a fifteen-year-old football star, and Russell Santucci, a twenty-six-year-old pianist and baseball hero Alex Santucci’s nephew. Twenty years early in his midlife crisis, Russell only discovers meaning in his life by playing the piano. He battles in managing his desire for sex, drug use, and alcohol consumption.

Given that their families are well-known for their grandeur and successes, the two major characters in the story, Russell, who is in his mid-twenties, and Annie, who is still a teenager, encounter obstacles as they pursue their individual abilities and ambitions to become known. The ambitious and affluent families of Russell and Annie have lofty aspirations for them to succeed in their respective fields. Russell is also forbidden from engaging in sexual relations with anyone younger than the age of eighteen.

When they first meet, they are immediately attracted to one another. They later fall in love after being sensually aware of one another at Annie’s fifteenth birthday bash.
