It’s the story of young Jeremiah, taken from his loving foster home and returned to his shitty, selfish mother. Her idea of good parenting is to leave her son in the car alone while she goes off to fuck and get high with a guy she’s just met. She takes Jeremiah on the road and consequently he’s pushed into a life of drug, alcohol, physical and sexual abuse, and instilled fear based on lies. It’s not a happy film, but it’s powerful and at times, between the anger and the heartbreak, it’s strangely insightful.
