It's 1969, and a lonely 12-year-old boy desperately misses his father, who deserted the family. Now, with no other means of support, his mother must wait tables and work as a stripper. The boy desperately wants to free her from this sordid life, and he sees just one way to do it: through drug-trafficking. But he soon learns that he's in over his head, and only his mother's strength and his own determination can save them from the drug dealers.
