Although the little boy fisherman perceives his broken family as a normal way of life, he lives to fish and dreams of breaking a world record. He is driven by confidence and enthusiasm and his perseverance glows brighter than any kid his age. His devoted father stands by his side while his invidious mother, not only does everything within her power to sabotage his dreams, but makes no attempt to keep her penchant for black men a secret. He stumbles into his mother's bedroom and witnesses a big black man pleasuring her. He is devastated, plunged into a world of all his own, tormented with shock and anger. But despite all disappointments, the little boy senses victory within his grasp and courageously struggles on... Until disaster strikes...
