Young David is a street rat. He knows it and he's accepted it; stealing is an everyday activity for a guy like him. But when he comes to and finds himself tied to a chair, bloody and bruised, he realizes he may have gone too far this time. Surrounded by some pissed off Irishmen, he'll soon be confronted by Father Fahey, a man who isn't interested in money or theft, but honor. This isn't payback, it isn't justice; it's a matter of propriety.
