After moving back home to Southern California, Aaron, a young novelist, meets Archie, a 12 year-old boy who lives next door with his father, and they bond over a shared love of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Set against the backdrop of the Lakers 2010 championship season, Memories is a character drama that explores the way men scar boys with their actions, and how those boys heal.
