Eddie (Marc) and Miles (DuPlessis) are teen runaways who meet and become friends in New Orleans. They hook up with a local drug dealer who sends them to New York City for a drug deal with the promise of easy money and a place to live. When the deal falls through, they find themselves penniless on the Lower East Side. They discover a vast underworld of abandoned buildings where kids live and are drawn into a world of sex, drugs, and survival.
