Teenager Jimmy Donovan
struggles to survive in a household with a drug-addicted mother and a
six-year-old sister, Angie, by selling marijuana in a diverse, suburban
neighborhood. After his mother is hospitalized, Jimmy makes the difficult
decision to begin pushing heroin in order to make the tuition payments for
Angie, which will keep her in a safer, private school. This new business venture
sparks some problems and sends Jimmy and his friends into a spiral of bad
events. His struggle to stay afloat is filled with numerous problems, all of
which surround his world in what he calls “kryptonite.” |
