Autistic 15-year-old Zig Zag's (Sam Jones III) complex relationship with his crooked, abusive father (Wesley Snipes) leads to trouble in this gritty urban drama. With help from his Big Brother mentor, Dean (John Leguizamo), Zig Zag tries to clean up his act but only lands himself in more hot water. He steals money from his boss to help his dad pay rent, and now his only hope of avoiding juvenile hall is to return the money before he's caught.
