A destitute 14 year old struggles to keep his life together despite harsh abuse at his mother's hands, harsher abuse at his father's, and a growing separation from his slightly older brother. Petty thefts for food grow into more major takes until he steals a cash box from the diner where he works. Although Joe uses the money to pay off some of his father's debts and to replace his mother's records that his father smashed in a fit of temper, Joe gets no thanks...

Movie Parental Guide

nudity	In the very beginning of the movie, young Joe pokes a girl in class and the teacher responds by pulling his pants down and spanking him. His backside is momentarily visible during the punishment.
violence	* The father is very abusive to the family throughout the film and hits Joe frequently. * There is reference to the mother getting beaten around as well. * A kid cuts his ankle pretty badly. * We see that a boy has been beaten up. * A man roughs up another man over money that hasn't shown up.
profanity	Plenty, a lot used by the kids too.
alcohol	The father is completely drunk most of the time and that is one of the factors causing his abusiveness. Other characters drink. The main character smokes frequently, along with other minors.
frightening	Suspenseful scene during a burglary. The movie revolves around an abused and neglected boy.
