Kevin seeks a rite of passage as his birthday approaches, entering the big teen years.
With great reluctance, Kevin agrees to escort Paul’s little sister, Debbie (Kevin’s number one fan) to a cotillion dance.
While the Arnolds and Paul’s family have fun together at a lakeside summer outing, Kevin withdraws from family activities and becomes involved in an adolescent relationship with a local girl.
Jealousy surfaces between the Arnolds and the Pfeiffers when Alvin Pfeiffer strikes gold on a beach-front investment.
Change gets the best of Kevin.
