In the vein of Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thieves and Satyajit Ray's Pather Panchali, this social drama is set in a working-class Singaporean Tamil family. With gangsters at his doorstep and drug addicts for parents, 17-year-old Prakash struggles to hold his family together and protect his mentally-impaired brother from dangers in and outside the family. When his family is implicated in a crime gone sour, Prakash's resolve and courage are put to the ultimate test.
