34 year-old Gary McCullough has seen four years of drug addiction strip him of his money, his career, and his family. Now he has one mission: to get his next drug fix.
DeAndre spends his life walking a fine line between childhood and maturity - a very fine line, since both of his parents are addicts, and he's been dealing drugs since he was 13 years old.
Fran has her own drug habit that her son has so far avoided, but DeAndre, still a child, helps support his mother and younger half brother De'Rodd by selling cocaine on the corner.
Attempting to go straight, Gary gets a seasonal job at the crab market where he worked in his youth. When an addict gets shot, a local artist named Blue realizes the time to clean up his life is now or never.
Things are going well for Fran, who proudly moves the family into a new home, but not so well for Gary, who loses his job as the crab season ends.
The entire Boyd family gathers for Thanksgiving, a celebration that also marks the birth of DeAndre's son.
