A member of the top high school basketball team in New York City falls prey to the lure of the streets - more specifically heroin - in this coming-of-age drama. Pre-superstardom Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this gritty and interesting, if rather unfaithful, adaptation of writer/poet Jim Carroll's captivating teenage memoirs of being young and streetwise.
