Chris is the protagonist, a troubled teen rebelling against this life in ways where he is regularly picked up by the police. The story of the film is one of greed and family hatred. It begins when John's brother Deel (Josh Lucas) visits the Munn family, whom the two boys did not even know existed. Deel who has just been released from prison stirs up unease among them. It turns out that Deel wishes to reclaim a hoard of gold coins from John. He eventually finds them hidden behind John's family portrait. John refuses to give them up. In the ensuing struggle, Deel murders him. He tries to kill Chris and Tim too, but they escape him and run away from home. Chris brings the gold coins along with him.

UNDERTOW
by: Kim Carnes(Kim Carnes/Duane Hitchings)
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Is anybody in there
Is anybody home
Can anybody hear me
Does anybody know
Know the way to break out of the undertow
When you need to hear your heartbeat
Just to know that you're alive
When someone's crying help me
You can see it in their eyes
Circumstance is deadly
Too afraid to know
The moment that we wake up
Caught in the undertow
Has anybody seen her
We've searched the city high and low
We've even heard her calling
From a place that no one knows
Listen you can hear her calling
I will never let you go
You're caught in the undertow
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
Can anybody hear me
