The year is 1973. The place is a town in Central Maine. The town, Fairfield, is a quaint, bustling little town which has a history that is strong and true. With a school rich in academic and sporting achievements, its residents follow along the footsteps of those who walked down a long line of heritage, packed with dignity and honor. Majestic, old houses and manors dot the countryside, adding their beautiful tales and antiquated stories within the town's bound chapters that have formed over the years. One manor in particular, the Merriman Manor, has a unique story of its own. Its aged timbers and warped floors cling tightly to a hidden story that has remained a secret for over a hundred years. One manor's story that holds dignity, pride, and a slice of faith, topped off with a spoonful of freedom. A surviving story that no one remembers, or knows. A story that needs to be made known and real.It's the late days of summer, 1973, and Fairfield is a town with a bustling, steady heartbeat. It is a town that supplies a constant adolescent building block, chock full of vim and vigor. It is a town that holds the imaginations and curiosities of five adventurous teenage boys. Five boys who, in the course of three hot, summer days, unknowingly stumble their way into a twisted, forgotten truth about the human spirit, all but lost in time. It's about the innocence of five friends, whose comradery grows stronger with every beat of their youthful hearts. It's about the unmatched bond of youth, and its ability to withstand the elements of their times, shining through brighter and stronger than ever.Journey back into those golden olden days of 1973, and ride along with Dustin, Kevin, Wally, Teddy and Frankie as they ride their bikes and take you along, back through the years to rediscover the simple joys and pure adolescent passions that are such a big part of this moment in time. Pull up your kickstands, check your tire pressure and come ride along with them as their innocence is tested, and the will of pure teenage comradery proves to be the glue that binds their friendship and holds tight to the true meaning of the everlasting spirit of youth.
