Spoilers ahead
14-year-old Marcus Frederick resides in Manhattan’s Lower East Side with his grandmother, Lucy. His mother Joanne has spent the last nine years in prison for smuggling undocumented people into New Mexico, while his father is presumed dead in a car accident when Marcus was five. Lucy runs her own bar, Lucy’s, which gives Marcus a lot of unsupervised time to roam with his four friends—Benny, Louis, Harold, and Chip—sharing idle hours in their underground clubhouse near the waterfront. Chip longs for bigger heists, while Marcus dreams of moving back to New Mexico to live on a ranch with his uncle Billy, who has promised to mail him an airplane ticket.
