Two young boys Tommy and Billy come from extremely poor and unloved background, and the eldest of the two, Tommy, feels totally responsible for his younger brother, Billy. Tommy decides to take matters into his own hands regarding supporting Billy and himself, which takes them on a journey of death, misery, and being on the run from the police-his dreams of making everything right for them both is just too much for him. Their mother believes that she is providing them with a home and food and that's where her responsibilities end. Does she care what they do or where they go? Now the police are knocking on her door, and some of the news she receives has her roaring with laughter, which isn't anything to laugh at. Billy, who loves his brother unconditionally, will follow him anywhere. He is his hero, and he knows that Tommy will always look after him, but things have gone wrong, and now he is very scared, and even his brother doesn't seem to be able to handle their situation. When everything comes to an end, someone has to pay the price and the price is very high.
