Joe's only solace is his slightly older brother, who used to be his partner in petty thefts to survive. However, as their lives continue to spiral downwards, Joe's brother distances himself from him, seeking escape through joining a local gang.

Desperate to provide for himself and his family, Joe resorts to more and more dangerous thefts.

Unfortunately, neither of his parents show any gratitude or appreciation for his efforts, further deepening his feelings of rejection and worthlessness.

Joe's life takes a turn when he develops an unexpected friendship with a kind-hearted teacher at his school, Miss Vicenti. She becomes a supportive and guiding figure in his life, offering him both emotional and academic encouragement.

However, Joe's actions catch up to him when the diner owner discovers that Joe was the one who stole the cash box. The owner confronts him, and realizing Joe's difficult circumstances, offers him a chance at redemption. Instead of reporting him to the authorities, the owner gives Joe the opportunity to work at the diner and repay the stolen money.

Joe accepts the offer, determined to turn his life around. With the support of Miss Vicenti and the diner owner, Joe begins to piece his broken life back together, finding purpose and hope in his own resilience and determination.

In the end, Joe's story serves as a reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the possibilities of redemption, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.
