Rags Plot Summary
What happens in Rags from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 4-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In New York City, Charlie Prince [Max Schneider] is an orphaned teenager living in his late mother’s karaoke bar, The Palace, which his stern, unloving stepfather, Arthur McGowens [Robert Moloney], keeps running as a way to control him. Arthur makes Charlie do most of the cleaning, while Diego [Zak Santiago] and Martha [Christina Sicoli] treat him like family, and his stepbrothers—Andrew McGowens [Keenan Tracey] and Lloyd McGowens [Burkely Duffield]—tease and undermine him at every turn. All three boys dream of being singers, and while Andrew lacks talent (something Arthur stubbornly ignores), Charlie is gifted with a strong singing voice and the ability to write music, though he hasn’t yet broken through.
