Plot

Fourteen-year old Marcus (Sexton) is growing in a rough part of New York City, with a single widowed mother who is in prison for murder. He lives with his grandmother, whose work as a bartender gives Marcus lots of unsupervised time to hang out with other teens. The teens spend their time doing mischief and petty crimes such as stealing CDs and running shoes. Before long, the teens begin planning more serious crimes. Marcus' friend Melena (Isidra Vega), who also grew up in a rough, abusive home tries to steer Marcus away from the pathway to crime that he is embarking on.
