Hurricane Streets
Marcus is a youngster growing up on Manhattan's rough streets. He is 15 years old, his father is deceased, and his mother is serving a prison sentence for smuggling unauthorized aliens. His grandmother is responsible for his upbringing. He lives in a subterranean clubhouse with four close friends; they shoplift and sell their items to children. One is pursuing drug sales. Marcus wishes to escape the city and spend time with family in New Mexico. He also meets Melena,14, a sweet young lady who aspires to see Alaska; her father is not just protective, but also hostile and uncommunicative. Marcus is pressed by the group to advance to burglary and auto theft. He only desires to breathe fresh air. Is it possible for anything to go wrong?
