A man is convicted of murder and sentenced to death for the crime. His brother, who idolized him, meets a cop, Sgt. Frank Conroy, who attempts to stop the boy and his gang of friends from ending up the same way as his brother did. He enrolls them in a recreational program and helps them get jobs. However, things change when the kid finds out that Conroy was the cop who arrested his brother, which resulted in his execution.
