After the tragic loss of his mother, T.J., along with his pill popping father (Wilson), are forced to live with his elderly Grandmother. A young man with a troubled past named Hesher (Gordon-Levitt) assumes the role as both mentor and tormentor, leading T.J into troubles he could never have imagined. A young grocery clerk named Nicole (Portman) steps in to protect T.J. from a vicious attack, and becomes the object of T.J.’s fantasies. And Hesher moves into Grandma’s home, although uninvited, he is somehow accepted. [1]
