Nathan enjoys growing a small lemon tree in his backyard. It had always been a delightful hobby for him. After years and years of growing it; watering and protecting it and trimming some of it, it finally sprouts to be a healthy, green tree, soon to be graced with heavy yellow lemons. His mother had always made him lemonade when he was younger and he knew his mother's recipe move by move when it came to stirring it. 

His neighbor, Roxy, has other things to say once the lemons are grown when he is caught stealing from the tree one summer night. Lessons are taught,  love starts to grow its roots, and a new relationship is picked up.
