With his mother dead and his father busy at work, Howie feels adrift in his New York suburb. He and his friend Gary spend their time burglarizing their neighbors' homes — until they make the mistake of robbing the house of Big John, a macho former Marine who is also an unrepentant pedophile. He propositions Howie, who declines, but the two eventually develop an unlikely and dangerous friendship.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A discomfiting portrait of suburban aimlessness and predatory manipulation, where a grieving teenager's vulnerability becomes entangled with a dangerous adult's pathology. The film never looks away from the moral murk of its characters' choices.
