Steven Dillon, 18 years old and homeless, desperately tries to escape poverty by getting a job. When his older brother Anthony, a drug addict, offers him a "freelance job", Steven is manipulated into robbing a convenience store. Steven is now left with the decision to either continue following Anthony or to cut his blood bond, leaving his only brother and family behind forever for the sake of his own stability, future, and life.
