The death of their mother has left Benji and Joel with an alcoholic and abusive father. Their home is a run down apartment in Maryland. They never have any clean clothes to wear and hardly enough to eat. Their made to do simple but lengthy chores around the house while their father enjoys a few beers while watching television. They are made to hide their bruises and skinny bodies with baggy pants and sweaters, even during summer. Teachers can't help but question the life style of these two boys, but both Benji and Joel have been brain-washed to satisfy the teacher's and counsel's curiosity with nothing but lies. The torture lasts for years, but everything has to have an ending. What will the conclusion of their story be?
