The film is set in an unspecified town near Lake Tahoe. All of the license plates are California plates, suggesting the town is on the California side of the lake (as opposed to the Nevada side). A shot of Emerald Bay towards the end of the film implies the town is located near the south shore of Tahoe.
In reality, the film was shot in and around South Lake Tahoe, California with some scenes filmed in Berkeley, California.
