How the title fits this movie is anyone's guess. Eric Drilling wrote, directed and produced this low budget drama based on his one act play. Two young boys are physically and mentally abused by their father. The older boy (Tom Everett Scott) has always taken up for his little brother who mainly took the brunt of their alcoholic father. When the older of the boys stabs their father to death, it is the younger boy (David Moscow) that takes the blame and does the time.
Scott now has to face the world alone and thus the hardship and desperation becomes the movie. A caring girlfriend (Cara Buono) is not enough to ease a troubled and guilty mind. Scott ends up committing robberies to get by. And after the release of Moscow on his twenty-first birthday, the brothers begin to commit the crimes together.
A gripping and sad tale. You watch, hoping for something positive to transpire.
