Marc Rocco's gritty
drama Where the Day Takes You stars
Dermot Mulroney as
King, a street-smart hustler who acts as a father figure to a motley collection of young runaways. Among the people in his sphere are the young self-destructive drug addict Greg (
Sean Astin), self-hating gay prostitute Little J (
Balthazar Getty), and newcomer Heather (
Lara Flynn Boyle). The film is structured as a series of flashbacks triggered by
King's conversations with a prison psychologist (
Laura San Giacomo). Included in the impressive cast are such soon-to-be-famous names as
Will Smith and
Ricki Lake, and the already established
Kyle MacLachlan,
Christian Slater, and
Alyssa Milano.
