Tina has something to tell her lover. To temper the inevitable awkward moment, she has arranged a visit to the beach, where, she hopes, the sunshine and her string bikini will put her boyfriend, Marty, in a good mood. Tina is worried how he will react, but not because she’s afraid of hurting his feelings. As far as she can tell, he has no feelings. Tina has never understood what place she has in Marty’s life, which makes her part in his future a complete mystery.

But Marty reacts strangely. Totally out of character, he reveals to Tina the most important pieces of his past. When he was young like Tina, Marty was forced to choose between his friends and his ambition. Given an opportunity to prove himself to the most powerful gangster in the city, Marty must harden his heart and complete a task which horrifies him.

They were never a well-matched couple, but today they will teach one another lessons few ever learn.
