Byron and Mark are like brothers, but as they reach 16, things begin to change. Byron is interested in girls, while Mark's focus is solely on making money. Despite their differences, they still enjoy hustling pool games in Charlie's Bar.

However, when Charlie is killed defending them in a brawl, Byron and Mark begin to drift apart. Byron falls in love with Cathy and is faced with the decision of his life when her drug-addicted brother goes missing.
