A family goes through some changes when an unusual sort of drifter crosses their path in this independent
coming-of-age drama.
Jake (
Danny Alexander) is a homeless 15-year-old kid with a fondness for stealing things and a precocious appetite for older women.
Jake is passing through a small Montana town as he continues his search for the mother who abandoned him years before when he meets
Tucker (
Hunter Parrish) while stealing the radio out of his truck. Though
Tucker is a bit older than
Jake,
Jake's rough-and-tumble existence has added a few years to his life experience, and after a scuffle over the radio, the boys become fast friends.
Tucker brings
Jake home for a square meal, and while
Tucker's father (
John Terry) is wary of the young drifter, he agrees to let him stay for a few days in the family's barn. However, it turns out Dad was right not to trust
Jake; not only does he get caught stealing trinkets from
Tucker's younger sister, he becomes amorously involved with a married middle-aged woman who lives nearby. While
Jake tends to this affair and toys with the trust of the family who has taken him in, he also offers some advice to
Tucker on how to win the attentions of
Lily Rose (
Paz de la Huerta), a neighborhood girl he has a crush on.
