This film is similar to Matt Damon's "Soul Hunter", and it is also about the redemption of a genius boy who has fallen into the streets. A few thoughts on the plot:
1. As long as they don't get poisoned, runaway teenagers are really happy living in New York.
Jim: Luckily, finding money in New York is like getting laid on the prom, easy.
Mickey: I get 1500 bucks for this car.
Pedro: We should buy shit in bulk, man. We'll put it on the street and make real money.
Mickey: We'll be on for days, nights, weeks.
Pedro: I'd love to go to Puerto Rico, soak up some rays…
2. Neutron, an old friend, entered the national league and received an offer from a prestigious school. Mickey, who is also 19 years old, was sentenced to five years in prison. After Jim's release from detention, his poetry works were very successful. Pedro is still struggling on the streets...
3. In fact, if the mother is really so young and gentle, and the early mother-child interaction is so cute, in reality Jim is unlikely to run away from home and scold f* and bitch.
