Прича је смештена у крај слободњачких шездесетих година прошлог века у средњу школу у Пало Алту, Калифорнија.

Они (ученици) су новостворени покрет - назван Талас.

Ентузијазам ученика расте и они постају типични заслепљени представници неког покрета, крећу да врбују друге ученике по школи... и у шта се све то претвара... и какве размере поприма...
