The story

Set in a gritty Brooklyn housing project, the film follows 13-year-old Mister (Skylan Brooks), a smart, tough, and fiercely independent boy with dreams of becoming an actor.

The two boys, both neglected by the adults in their lives, are suddenly left alone for the summer—with no money, no electricity, and no food.

Throughout it all, Mister keeps his sights on an upcoming audition for a TV acting role—his potential escape from poverty.
