A group of neighborhood boys, now grown men, reflect upon their memories of the five Lisbon sisters - Therese, Mary, Bonnie, Lux, and Cecelia. Unattainable due to their strict, religious parents, the girls are enigmas who fill the boys' conversations and dreams, while their reality is something else entirely.
