Howie Blitzer (Brian Cox) is a sensitive fifteen-year-old who runs with a rough crowd. The recent death of his mother (in a car accident on exit 52 of the L.I.E.) and his father's indifference to it, have left him floating in a world bubbling over with sex, violence, and danger. When his best friend Gary convinces Howie to burglarize the house of their neighbor, 60-year-old Big John, the tenuous balance of their teenage existence is entirely thrown off. To make matters even worse, Howie's father is arrested over a bad business deal. Howie is left dangling, and only Big John seems to care. A harrowing mixture of tenderness and perversion electrifies the father-son relationship that forms between Howie and Big John. Director Michael Cuesta's touching vision of domestic life in modern-day suburbia is at once humorous and unnerving as it boldly charts one boy's convoluded path through adolescence.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48852088717634,"sku":"1026356","price":47.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/l-i-e-dvd","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
