SYNOPSIS: Jake, a homeless 15-year-old, is lost somewhere between boyhood and manhood, existing only on a strong instinct to survive.  A loner and a thief, he is proud of his sexual prowess but doesn't have the maturity to cope with the consequences.  Searching for the woman who has left him (again), he drifts into a small Montana town and falls in with Tucker, a local boy from a decent ranching family.  At Tucker's insistence, his family feeds Jake and eventually takes him into their homes and their lives.  The family Jake comes to inherit is not so much naive as good-hearted.  But is Jake up to the challenge of living a better life?

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  Weeds co-star Hunter Parish stars as 15-year-old Tucker, new friend and hopeful savior of kleptomaniac Jake (played by Danny Alexander).  Tucker stumbles upon Jake breaking into his vehicle and stealing his radio (in Montana, kids as young as 14 1/2 can be licensed to drive by the way---eek!).  Jake, a thief since birth, boasts of rarely getting caught...but this time, he's busted - not by the cops, but by Tucker.  A brief fist-fight and a foot chase ensues and thus begins a strange friendship and the indie flick, Steal Me (how many friendships as boys began with a fight?).

Tucker, is a little more reserved and shy, and very sensitive.  He opens his heart to Jake and takes him home like a lost puppy.  Jake is also shy and reserved, at first, but he eventually begins to "open up"; even going so far as to flirt with Tucker's soon-to-be girlfriend (almost starting a "three-way" in the process) and Grace (played by veteran TV actress Toby Poser), a 40-somthing "single" mom who gladly takes Jake under her wing and into her bed (nothing worse and a woman in her prime, and a teen in his, eh?).  As Jake seems to grow in popularity, Tucker starts to feel a little resentment toward the boy he tried to help.  But does Jake really need, or even want help?  What exactly is Jake's plan?  There's not really much to say that won't give away the ending, but the title is fitting.

Suddenly, this has become a rare and hard-to-find DVD (it took us three months to get our stock in).  If it's out of stock, be patient!
