Dave is a young boy with no home, only a paper bag of old, torn clothes. Rescued from his alcoholic mother, he now faces a new struggle - finding a place to call home. Bouncing between foster families, Dave longs for the love and acceptance he's never known. Determined to belong, he'll do whatever it takes, even if it means breaking the law.
