Danny is a stoned, disenfranchised, teenager and petty thief who gets sent to live with his father. For Danny, it is an escape from the world of a bored teenager into a whole new one: the world of business. His father, a not-too-reputable businessman, quickly begins involving Danny in his business endeavors, with drastic consequences. When Danny tries to enjoy both of his worlds, he comes to realize he may not belong in either. A coming-of-age tale about father/son relationships and finding one’s place in society. Shot in Maryland by New York filmmaker, Adam Yaffe, featuring a mostly local cast and crew.
