Prijatelja Ben in Alan se poznata že od malih nog in nobeden od njiju noče odrasti. Preživljata se s krajo avtomobilov na pogrebih, ki jih nato prodata lokalnemu prodajalcu avtomobilov. Ko spoznata dvanajstletnega Kelseya, ki je po materinem samomoru ostal sam, se odločita, da ga bosta vzela pod svoje okrilje. Vendar kmalu ugotovita, da bosta morala odrasti, saj fant v svojem življenju potrebuje pozitivne vzornike.
Two car thieving buddies (Ben and Alan) come to personal crossroads when Kelsey, a likable but neglected and fairly well abandoned twelve-year-old boy, crosses their path. Ben and Alan, having bonded for life in helping each other escape unhappy home lives, react differently to Kelsey's situation. One deeply fears the responsibility of looking after a child (having had no personal experiences worth following) while the other finds himself compelled to take him in (seeing himself in the child - an abandoned kid whom no one else wants).
