Lee tires of living with his abusive, street-preaching uncle and makes an escape from him and the small, run-down town in which he was born.
He finds himself vunerable and alone in Los Angeles where he soon encounters Father Doyle - a fighting, drinking man of his own few rules.
Together, the two survive by stealing what they need until Lee his lured away by Tiffany Lily, a faded TV star making her way back to the top. But the sleazy life among the super-rich is little better than the tough life on the streets of LA.
This is a gritty study of the American dream turned sour; you can expect strong language throughout and scenes of an adult nature.
