About

With his mother dead and his father busy at work, Howie feels adrift in his New York suburb. He and his friend Gary spend their time burglarizing their neighbors' homes — until they make the mistake of robbing the house of Big John, a macho former Marine who is also an unrepentant pedophile. He propositions Howie, who declines, but the two eventually develop an unlikely and dangerous friendship.

A raw, trembling vulnerability radiates from the boy at the center of this suburban crime saga. When a botched neighborhood burglary turns into a predatory confrontation, the quiet boredom of adolescence curdles into a nightmare of misplaced trust.
