Having chosen jobs at a gas station over school, 14-year-old friends Tyson (Tyrone Burton), Hector (Eddie Cutanda) and Bao (Phuong Duong) are getting pushed around by some of the older boys in their Boston neighborhood. Despite the stability provided by their relationship with youth club worker J.J. (Geoffrey Rhue), the boys are tempted by the fast money of the drug trade and touched by untimely death. Amid the flurry of mixed messages, the boys must decide which paths to follow.
