The son of a wealthy slumlord, 13-year-old Luther has a fairly comfortable life thanks to his mother's ill-gotten gains. Although he's an excellent student aiming for his third straight win in the school's science fair, Luther still feels controlled and exploited by his mother, a fierce woman whom he refers to as The Sarge. Forced to work at his mother's poorly maintained apartment buildings, Luther comes up with a dangerous way to break free of his mother--but does he have what it takes to defy her once and for all?
