"The most

forced to move into a poor suburban neighborhood on Long Island
after an ugly divorce. Overwhelmed by the new world that he
encounters, James clashes with a local gang but finds solace
in Celeste (Aesha Waks). James' newfound peace is shattered
when he refuses to join the local gang led by Iris (Mariana

A Packing Suburbia shows us the violent coming of age of a teenage
