Tyrell is a young, African American teen who can`t get a break. He`s living (for now) with his spaced-out mother and little brother in a homeless shelter. His father`s in jail. His girlfriend supports him, but he doesn`t feel good enough for her -- and seems to be always on the verge of doing the wrong thing around her. There`s another girl at the homeless shelter who is also after him, although the desires there are complicated. Tyrell feels he needs to score some money to make things better. Will he end up following in his father`s footsteps?
