The story

Thirteen-year-old Benjie lives in a historic but declining neighborhood with his mother Raylene (Sweets), his grandmother Mrs. Peggy Bell, and his mother's boyfriend Butler, a maintenance worker and former musician. Benjie appears to be well adjusted, living in a decent house with a loving family, getting good grades in school, and spending time with his friends Jimmy Lee and Carwell.
