Synopsis: One sweltering summer in New York City, 13-year-old Mister's hard-living mother is apprehended by the police, leaving him and 9-year-old Pete to survive alone while dodging child protective services, the cops and the gangs of the Brooklyn projects. But through fearlessness of youth and sheer force of will, the two forget a bond strong enough to face down the world - and claim their place in it. Acclaimed for its break-out performances and bold realism, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister And Pete builds to a transcendent climax and becomes an unforgettable experience.
