The movie is a coming-of-age drama about a boy growing up in Astoria, N.Y., during the 1980s. As his friends end up dead, on drugs or in prison, he comes to believe he has been saved from their fate by various so-called saints.

Robert Downey Jr. stars in director Dito Montiel's autobiographical coming-of-age drama set in tough, blue-collar Queens, N.Y. While his young friends all seem to end up as junkies, inmates or corpses, Dito (Downey) miraculously escapes the same fate -- a fact he can only attribute to divine intervention. The film's high-powered supporting cast includes Dianne Wiest, Chazz Palminteri, Eric Roberts and Rosario Dawson.
