The story

In 1987, James Brennan's plans for a summer vacation in Europe after graduating from Oberlin College falls apart after his mother informs him of his father losing his job. Knowing that their current finances will not permit them to support him, James gets a job in the carnival games section at Adventureland, a local amusement park in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where his childhood friend Tommy Frigo works. Another games worker, Emily "Em" Lewin, saves James from being stabbed by a cheating customer and offers him a ride home that night.
