A gritty pre-Code Depression-era drama about adolescent friendship tested by homelessness, poverty, and violence, grounded in social realism rather than sentimentality.

At the height of the Great Depression, Tommy's mother has been out of work for months when Eddie's father loses his job. Eager not to burden their parents, the two high school sophomores decide to hop the freight trains and look for work.
