Summary/Review: "Sixteen-year-old Angelo has moved to Toronto from the Philippines to join his mother, who has been living in Toronto and working as a nanny for most of Angelo's life. Adjusting to a new country isn't easy for Angelo with a new language, curfews, new rules, and pressure from a mom who seems like a stranger. But when Angelo's mother takes him to the Filipino Community Centre, he meets Marcus who has shared the same experience. At school, Marcus introduces Angelo to Felix and Darius. The boys quickly show Angelo how no one respects poor Filipino immigrants and lure him into running petty thefts as a way of evening the score. But when the group is faced with consequences will Angelo have the courage to go against his friends and set things right?" --
