Lex lifts $10 from his mom and takes his younger brother Mick out for pizza. Walking home, Lex is shaken down by a plain-clothes cop who begins to sodomize the younger boy. Lex stabes the cop and is sent away to reformatory. As adults, Mick has joined the police force and Lex has gotten a local girl pregnant and is now trying to make ends meet by driving a school bus. He ultimately fails and Mick is placed in the position of having to choose between loyalty to his uniform or to the brother who once protected him on the streets.
