Peter is a loner and a no hoper. His father is in prison, his mother in a mental hospital and he lives in a children's home. He knows his future is without hope and he acts tough and fights rough. He is coming to the realisation that he is on the path to nowhere and then three girls step into his path, three nice girls who treat him to coffee and then a little friendly ridicule. Kayleigh decides to take the boy home and Pete's life changes forever.
