On a cold November day, in a tiny eighth floor apartment in downtown Toronto, eight year old Anthony Fitzgerald wakes up, frightened and in pain. As children often do, no matter what the circumstances they find themselves in, he dreams of a better future. Sharing his dreams is his kindly Uncle Ben, a robust and friendly outdoorsman who guides Anthony through wonderful places and who takes the time to explain to him how the wonders in the natural world work.
Anthony's step-father is a violent drunk who only sees the little boy as an unnecessary burden on him, Anthony's mother and their new born son. But today, his friend Mitch has offered him a chance to make some fast cash by robbing a neighborhood house. The police, a truck accident, a violent street gang, and an unforgiving mother, create a force that even kindly Uncle Ben cannot stop. For little Anthony, only one person can help him escape what his mother has warned him is coming next.
