Alex J Ankrom

In the course of an interrogation, Gabriel Carter, a homicide detective, whose life has been spiraling out of control, and a fourteen year-old junkie named Dylan, whose life has finally hit bottom, discover they have more in common than either one of them could imagine, and maybe form a bond that will last a lifetime. For two people that have seen more than their fair share of Hard Times, this night isn't what they want, but maybe what they need.
