Sebastian, who lives together with his family in Harlem in New York, is a fifteen year old boy. His father has psychological problems, so that he’s not able to go to work. He has a problem with his wife earning all the money for the family, which lead to Sebastian’s father’s drug addiction.

After a while he had to steal things to get enough money to cope with his addiction…
