Twelve-year olds Joe, Tiger and Chris break out of summer baseball camp to secretly trail Joe’s parents, who have lied to Joe about a mysterious trip they’re taking. The boys must piece together clues, avoid their parents, dodge the police, trust a stranger – and not destroy their friendships in the process – during an adventurous road trip in their last summer before junior high. In the spirit of Stand By Me, Rounding First is a coming-of-age tale set in the summer of 1980.

00:03Oh my god, this is so mean!
00:05It's been totally bad!
00:07Yeah!
00:08Yeah!
00:10Folks, you're gonna kill me.
00:12Hey, is there any way you can just drop him off at the corner?
00:15I don't know if I want you hanging around with Joe anymore.
00:17You two seem to be trouble for each other.
00:19He is my best friend.
00:21Trust me, he won't be.
00:22I was in jail.
00:23How was your night?
00:25We're best friends.
00:29You're going to camp tomorrow.
00:31Trying to figure out where Joe's parents went.
00:33You know, sometimes parents do things that little boys don't need to know about.
00:37They're totally going somewhere.
00:39I can't believe they just bitched me.
00:41Philadelphia!
00:42Shh!
00:43But we can get in major trouble.
00:45Only if we get caught.
00:46When's the last time somebody saw them?
00:47Lights out last night.
00:49Later, toots.
00:50It seems like your parents haven't been getting along lately.
00:53Later, toots.
00:54I think they're there because they're getting, you know...
00:58Aren't you that dead kid from that screwed up family?
01:00Dead.
01:01I'm so, so dead.
01:02You got any food?
01:04Sure, I got food.
01:05You boys get what you need?
01:08How long can you get sent away for attempted armed robbery?
01:11Not long.
01:11Six to twelve.
01:12Yes!
01:13Wow, you're in major trouble.
01:15What'd they take?
01:16Candy.
01:17And a six-pack of beer.
01:19Ah, that's refreshing.
01:21But we were just hostages!
01:23They weren't accomplices, they were hostages.
01:25I don't care.
01:26Going to a courthouse.
01:28Philly losers having a field day.
01:29That's the strategy.
01:31Let's put all of our faith in Strikers front, Dad.
01:33How'd you get this number?
01:35We're cops.
01:36It's my job.
01:36We're leaving.
01:37So you could give me up?
01:38Like hell you are.
01:39Is that it?
01:40Just great!
01:41Just great!
01:42I'm gonna blow you out of!
01:44I didn't come all this way not to make it.
01:46You understand?
01:47I'm going to make it!
01:48Don't move over to arrest him.
01:50I'm telling you, I'm not kidding.
01:51Please, please don't let him put me in jail!
01:53And if you want to stop us, you're gonna have to show us.
01:56I'm gonna kill him!
02:01You know, I hated my father for years, too.
02:04What about now?
02:06Now does it matter when you're 12.
02:12I'm a little afraid.
02:14Don't be.
