In the summer of 1983, 8-year-old Jason Shapiro moves into his new home on Mayfair Court, where he meets Jimmy Gallo. Their connection is instant and the adventures they will embark on capture the essence and simplicity of being a child. A mystical treehouse in Jimmy’s yard becomes the boys’ home base; a place where secrets are shared and lifelong bonds are made. When Jason abruptly learns that he is moving away in 1989, he must say goodbye to Jimmy and the magical life he has had growing up on Mayfair Court. A series of tragic events later in life will bring Jason back to the street where he grew up. He reflects on his boyhood adventures and attempts to confront his unresolved regrets. When he uncovers a long-forgotten letter, will it finally bring peace to his life? This is a coming of age journey that weaves together the past and the present, with commentary from Jason in current day. He recalls the joy of his childhood and the challenges of confronting his personal truths as an adult. 3
