- Synopsis
- Sixteen-year-old Gussie Smith has had it with his overcritical father and alcoholic mother. All he really wants is to help his mom, but even the strongest hug can't squeeze away her alcoholic ragings and depression. Then Gussie meets Flame, a teenage runaway, and his real cruising begins. Heading south, far away from their problems, Flame, Gussie, and his younger brother, Jimbo, stop to visit Gussie's kindhearted aunt and uncle in South Carolina. But just when they begin to feel comfortable in this warm family atmosphere, the boys get an unexpected call from home. Can Gussie find a way to help his family solve their crisis?
