A gay teen finds out who he is and what he wants, who his friends are, and who loves him, in this autobiographical tale set in middle America in the 1980s. Growing up, learning about life, love, sex, friends, and lovers.

One of the classics in comptemporary American gay cinema, Edge of Seventeen recalls one high school student's eventful and raucous coming-out during the steamy summer of 1984. Eric (Chris Stafford) is a 17-year old senior from Ohio who takes a summer job at an amusement park.

Working alongside his best gal pal Maggie (Tina Holmes), the two idle away the days until Eric meets Rod (Andersen Gabrych), a sexy and openly gay college student. Soon sparks fly and Eric must confront feelings he had long suppressed.

A funny, entertaining and insightful coming-of-age tale, Edge of Seventeen is enhanced by a great '80s soundtrack (including Bronski Beat and Eurythmics), terrific period design and a high-energy, upbeat tempo, making this an exciting and original take on growing up and finding love.
