A vida de Alma é uma série de meios-termos: ela é meio chinesa, meio judia; os pais passam metade do tempo a discutir e a outra metade em silêncio; e ela está a meio caminho de se tornar mulher. Mas enquanto puder ouvir o seu Walkman, sair com os amigos nos degraus das entradas do Village e andar de bicicleta pelas ruas de Nova Iorque, parece que tudo vai ficar bem. Até que chega o ano em que tudo muda, e a sua vida é tomada por finais constantes: os amigos mudam-se, os romances florescem e murcham, os pais divorciam-se e — de repente — a vida como ela a conhecia acaba. Neste mundo de começos, meios e fins confusos, estará Alma pronta para carregar no play da banda sonora da sua vida?
