When a young boy's life is turned upside down by events beyond his control, where does he turn for guidance? Or will their advice only serve to dig an even deeper hole? A dying father, a grieving mother, an irresponsible uncle, an understanding policeman, a stern social worker. These folks and others create a chain of events that will make you laugh and make you cry and, eventually, will restore your faith in the basic goodness of people.
