A riveting story of one boy's life on the edge.

In a performance hailed by critics across the country, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jim Carroll, a high school basketball hero headed for trouble. Teamed with his friends, Micky (Mark Wahlberg), Neutron and Pedro, Jim seems headed for a bright basketball career. But when pressure from his coach, his mom and school begin to mount, Jim finds solace in all the wrong places, and the dark streets of New York begin to tear him apart.
