Hurricane Streets
Marcus is a young man growing up on Manhattan's rough streets. He is 15 years old, his father is deceased, and his mother is imprisoned for smuggling undocumented aliens. His grandmother is raising him. He has four close friends who have a basement clubhouse where they shoplift and sell their wares to children. One is considering selling drugs. Marcus wants to get away from the city and visit family in New Mexico. He also meets Melena, a sweet 14-year-old girl who dreams of going to Alaska; her father is not only protective, but also angry and uncommunicative. Marcus is under pressure from the gang to progress to burglary and car theft. He simply wants to breathe fresh air. Is it possible for anything to go wrong?
