"Where the Day Takes You" is a tour of Hollywood's notorious underground. From the after-hours dance clubs to the hidden drug dens, from panhandling to prostitution, it's a no-holds-barred look at life in the fast lane. Fleeing abusive families, the kids form a protective family on their own, with King as their leader. When King gets falsely accused of murder, the "family" is now forced to take the law into their own hands and survive on their own ways. It doesn't take long before the group falls apart. When King gets released, will he be able to make everything better and teach his family a better way to survive?
