Joe the King (1999)
Joseph Henry est un enfant difficile mais débrouillard, peu adapté à l'école et impulsif. Avec son frère Mike, d'un an plus âgé, il vit dans une famille déstructurée, dirigée par un père sans ambition, alcoolique et violent et une mère débordée. Joe est traumatisé par la position de son père qui est homme d’entretien dans l'école qu'il fréquente et doit pour cela subir les quolibets de ses camarades. Son père contracte de multiples dettes dans son entourage et est incapable de s'occuper valablement de ses fils qui sont livrés à eux-mêmes. Joe ne s'en laisse pas conter et travaille dans un restaurant en plus de l'école, mais il se laisse aussi aller à des vols réguliers chez son employeur ou dans les magasins. Pour débarrasser son père des créanciers pressants, il consacre une partie de l'argent qu'il obtient en volant à rembourser les dettes.
