Film Synopsis

A day in the life journey of a 12-year-old Boy as he makes his way home from school through the harsh landscape of downtown. Navigating through homeless encampments and along graffiti-covered, litter-strewn train tracks.

As he finally reaches his home, the small sanctuary he yearned for turns into a place of rejection. His drug-addicted mother, under the influence of her volatile biker boyfriend, throws the Boy out. Alone again, the Boy clings to a secret, a small but powerful beacon of light that helps him face the harsh realities of his world. Through his eyes, we discover that even in the most desolate of places, a spark of hope can make all the difference.
