Synopsis

Coming-of-age drama. Charlie Banks is from a working class background, and, as a child is plagued by playground bully Mick. In his teens he witnesses Mick beating up two people at a party and reports him to the police but backs out of testifying in court. At an Ivy-League college he mixes with friends from very different backgrounds to his own, but his new life is disrupted when Mick turns up. Charlie is intimidated and in a quandry, and is horrified when his college friends also befriend Mick.
