Joe the King
A impoverished 14-year-old battles to hold his life together in the face of severe abuse at the hands of his mother, even more severe treatment at the hands of his father, and a developing estrangement from his somewhat older brother. Petty thefts for food escalate into more serious heists until he steals a cash box from his employer's diner. Although Joe uses the money to repay some of his father's obligations and to replace his mother's records that his father destroyed in a fit of rage, Joe receives no gratitude...
