Griffin in Summer

Griffin Nafly is a 14-year-old aspiring playwright who dreams of moving to New York City and staging his plays on Broadway. For his summer vacation, Griffin is at work on his latest piece, a divorce drama he describes as "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? meets American Beauty" titled Regrets of Autumn. The play is inspired by the marital troubles between his mother Helen and father Bill. His best friend Kara offers to be the director, while their friends Winnie, Pam, and Tyler fill out the cast. He is dismayed to learn that Kara will be spending part of her summer in Maine with her new boyfriend, but she promises to stay updated by phone.
