The touching true story of the fifteen years old Terry who promised his dying mother to look after his six younger brothers and keep them together as a family ... a man's job on a boy's shoulders. He had to face many misfortunes and "parenthood" had such hard and unpleasant surprises for him, he was almost tempted to disappoint his mother ...

Where's the Social Service? Also, when their mother died, all the authorities related got be reported, where's the funeral money to either bury or cremate their mother? Once the mother died, the hospital had to report to the authorities; even she died at home, the police had to come over to verify the death and the cause of the death. These procedures are the basic legal system that existed and being carried out faithfully and continuously, not even you promised to your dying mom that you, as the eldest and big brother in the family would be able to avoid these legal formalities. It's totally unrealistic and highly unlikely that would have happened in the American legal system. Without the logic reality, how could be possible it's a true story?
