This film chronicles twenty year-old Daniel Carter's (Webber) attempt to help an eight-year old, Boone (Ortiz), find a better life. Daniel first meets Boone while doing community service at an East Village grade school. The boys strike up a friendship during which Daniel learns that Boone's mother is sick and may be hospitalized. He also learns that Boone has an older sister, Charlotte, who lives in Dallas. When Boone does not show up for school a few days later, Daniel begins to ask questions and learns that Boone was placed into a temporary foster care in upstate New York. After being turned down as an adoption candidate, and failing to convince his Father to help him gain custody, Daniel decides to take the law in his own hands. He puts all his street smarts to use and breaks Boone out of foster care, and they head down to Dallas. While the goal is to locate Boone's sister, the heart of the story is the unexpected and beautiful bond Daniel and Boone form during their road trip adventure. This poignant story of unlikely friendship and redemption contains powerful character performances from Mark Webber, Rosie Perez, Brendan Sexton III, and the young Antonio Ortiz. ea0 Written by Just Like the Son, LLC
