An aimless woman and her teenage son drift across America – and naively into the home of a dangerously unstable man – in this memoir of growing up in the Fifties. Robert De Niro stars as the seemingly good man who takes in divorced mom Ellen Barkin and her son Leonardo DiCaprio – and delivers alcoholism, violence and a determination to keep the boy from realizing his ambitions.
