The story of a boy and his dog. Matt is a typical teenager; Del a happy but ageing canine. Family Holiday plans are disrupted when, at the last minute, the dog minder lets them down. Del finds himself taken for a surprise trip the outcome of which will change all their lives.

Matt is less than pleased when he realises that they will be staying only a short way away from Dad's girlfriend when he had been promised that it would be just the two of them for a whole week. He perks up however when he meets, Eve, a pretty teenager. It isn't long before the emotions of first love surface, exciting and confusing him.
