Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Fourteen-year-old Paul, having run away from his abusive father and lived on the roof of a convenience store for a year, is picked up by police after slitting his wrists and begins a round of struggles in Chicago's system of youth homes before making the decision to break the cycle and try for a better life."
  • "Paul is a ward of the court continually moved through the Chicago juvenile system. He tries to succeed in schools where children aren't taught to read, and tries to get straight in homes where drug abuse and violence are the norm and find affection in families where the children are constantly being moved and the guardians are paid six dollars an hour to look after kids they have no stake in or relation to."
