A story of teenage conflict--the predicament of a youth who rebels against his parents' middle-class goals and conventions but finds the world, away from home and high school, a cold place to go it alone. Ideals are no defense when the need for money leads to shady practices. This feature film is a study of the sources of delinquency in an affluent society, mirroring many of the problems and frustrations of young people.
