Eleven-year-old Gibran Brown's single mother dies, and he heads onto the streets. He's thinking about killing himself with a razor when depressed widower John Cassavetes sits down and talks to him. Eventually he takes him home and tries to take care of him.

With Billy Dee Williams and Denise Nicholas.
