synopsis
Terry (Peter Byrne) has a lot of responsibilities. Ever since his mother left his father, his dad has been drinking his sorrows away, and Terry has to prop him up and somehow keep him going. Besides that, Terry is hopelessly in love with adolescent prostitute Lyrica (Melissa Duge), and wants to rescue her from her pimping thug of a boyfriend, Tommy (Michael Griffiths). In order to keep food on the table, Terry sells stolen goods for local hoods and delivers drugs to local dealers. His dad uses the money Terry brings in to search for his missing wife.
