Corey's cell phone rings at 3 a.m. His father is dying. Along with his wife and two children, Corey journeys back to his hometown to say goodbye. Immersed in his childhood home, he journeys even further back in memory to the summer of 1982, when he was fourteen years old, obsessed with arcade games, movies, and rock 'n' roll music, forming lifelong bonds with friends and starting to date girls. A heartfelt, humorous coming of age story, In a Town Without a Name explores topics of familial bonds, class conflict, disability and ableism, social gender roles, love, grief, and technology that are just as relevant today as they were in the 80s.
