Plots(1)
Set in the bleak, burned-out world of ‘80s Detroit, plagued by unemployment, poverty and crack cocaine, this vividly observed, tragic true story follows a teenager manipulated by both drug dealers and law enforcement. Before he turned 15, Ricky Wershe Jr. (the utterly persuasive newcomer Richie Merritt) became a key FBI informant; soon after, he was known as a local drug lord. (Telluride Film Festival)
