Teenagers with a poetic curiosity and a sense of what it’s like to be young, lost, and in love, both futureless and free. Touching on something beautiful and broken in the heart of young America.

A 14-year-old boy, bereaved of his father and home in a suspicious fire, embarks on a journey to find his mother in the distant San Fernando Valley, where he befriends gangsters and joins a militia in his quest for identity and survival in the absence of guidance and stability.
