Mick O'Brien (Sean Penn) is a young Chicago street thug torn between a life of petty crime and the love of his girlfriend (Ally Sheedy). But when the heist of a local drug dealer (Esai Morales) goes tragically wrong Mick is sentenced to a brutal juvenile prison where violence is a rite of passage and respect is measured in vengeance. Can a bad boy on the edge of salvation find the heart to survive a manhood on the verge of murder? (texte officiel du distributeur)

A gang of assholes in a borstal, pardon me, in a youth detention center. The movie doesn’t shy away from showing the way to the top to rule over the "co-prisoners" or the final confrontation between the main antagonists which is raw and it simply doesn’t embellish anything. The hairy Sean Penn shows already at a very young age that he’s a hell of an actor.
