Fifteen-year-old Howie loses just about everything and everyone in the space of a single week, but ends up finding himself in the process.
His mother has just died. His father, a building contractor, can barely keep tabs on his young girlfriend, let alone his own son.
Thus, the teen must navigate his adolescence virtually unsupervised.
Floating towards an ill-behaved existence, Howie and his crowd begin robbing houses in the middle-class neighborhoods off the Long Island Expressway.
Together, he and his best friend Gary break into a place belonging to an old guy named Big John, a local man who is a respected pillar of the community.
When Big John fingers Gary for the crime, Howie learns that his pal has been leading a secret, dangerous but also alluring double life.
Subsequently, we also discover that Big John has secrets of his own.
