At the beginning of fourth grade in high school, Morgan's father lost his company, so the family moved from Connecticut to an apartment in the San Fernando Valley where they had been at the yacht club. Morgan grew up in the shadow of his outstanding brother, and he seems to have the knack for getting into trouble. He also has a stubborn personality, so when he found himself attracted to his girlfriend Frankie, the leader of a local young thug gang, he couldn't stop himself from proposing to her. The thugs believed that Frankie was his property and that the calm and polite Morgan was dead meat. Is this a desperate struggle?
