Description
Reeves' mother belongs to a cult. The cult believes that you must be a Soldier of Christ. But to be a soldier, you must fight. Robbie is the son of an addict prostitute. He's raising his little brother alone, while trying to avoid his mother's pimp. Gracie is a pretty girl that lives in a nice house in the suburbs. Life is perfect for her family from the outside. None of her neighbors know the truth- her father is an enforcer for the mafia. Cole's father is a neglectful alcoholic. His father lives only for one reason, the need to kill again. These kids all have to face the violence eventually, and it all comes together in a climax where even the best of intentions results in innocence lost.
