Joseph worries that his new friends will discover he's homeless. He also fears that his drug- and alcohol-addicted mother will embarrass him--again. His father, serving in Iraq, wants custody so his son can live a stable life, but Joseph feels torn about abandoning Momma. Moses offers an authentic and heartbreaking view of a determined kid who just needs a break.
