The films focus leans towards Mika, the leader of the three, a lonely and slient kid whos finds a way to escape this world by running to Coney Island with the stolen identity of a wounded friend, with his new persona Mika gets the chance to taste new life but not for long because ultimately his past tracks him down, in the end Mika is forced back to New Orleans and achieves conclusion through an absurd acy of self-destruction.
