Josh's dad has left again and this time he took the dog. Josh and his younger brother, Twig live in their grandma's trailer and she is extremely resentful. She didn't want to raise kids and she certainly doesn't want to raise grandkids now that her good for nothing son has run off again. She plans on calling child services and putting Josh and Twig in the system, but Josh convinces her that he'll move out and give her $200 a month to take care of Twig. Problem is, he has no idea where to get it or where to sleep. He runs into his father's old friend Stan and starts working jobs for him when he's not in school. Soon he is sleeping in an abandoned factory with Stan and a cohort of other young homeless people and wondering when life got complicated. Soon his grades start slipping and he starts letting his basketball team down, will things ever get any better?! The awful reality for some impoverished youth. Gut wrenching and far too real.
