Synopsis

Happy Birthday, Gemini is a story about WASP brother and sister Randy and Judith Hastings who hitchhike to working class South Philadelphia to visit their Harvard school chum Francis Geminiani on the eve of his twenty-first birthday.

Randy and Judith propose a "free" summer road trip across the country to Francis, where they plan to work moving vehicles from place to place. This trip holds bigger stakes for Judith, who hopes to take her and Francis' two sexual encounters to a more committed level.

As Randy and Judith camp out in the Geminianis' back yard until Francis' birthday party, they meet the eccentric characters in Francis' life: his hyper-masculine divorced butcher father, Nick Geminiani; their neighbor Lucille Pompi who works at the butcher shop and is in a relationship with Nick; divorced neighbor Bunny Weinberger, who masks her insecurity with brazen sexuality; and Bunny's son Herschel Weinberger, who struggles with asthma and social awareness.

Randy and Judith spend time with these characters as Francis deals with an issue that may threaten his friendship with both of them.
