Plot

[edit]

Allen, a white kid, moves into a South Bronx neighborhood with his single mom, and is a victim of constant harassment until Tommy, a local kid, offers friendship. A corrupt cop hits on Allen's mother and, when she rebuffs him, he seeks revenge. Forces beyond Allen and Tommy's control put them in the hands of the criminal justice system and make things even more difficult for the dreams of the young men.
