——

Teetering on the edge of eviction, two young skateboarders Trev and Nate are inseparable best friends born and raised in the quickly gentrifying neighborhood of Echo Park.

Buying a VHS tape at a local garage sale, they discover a 90s home movie showing a forgotten, mythical wave breaking in L.A.'s Echo Park Lake! This discovery leads them on a quest and fight for survival against a corrupt local developer for the legend that is Echo Park's long lost wave, Lotus Point.
