In the end, Hal is reunited with his father, and he and his father help Caboose who, upon being released from the Boys' Home, has no family and no place to stay. His lawyer contacts the authorities who come to the facility, arrest the staff, and take them into custody. With help from Paco and Caboose, an ex-gang member, he retrieves medical records and sends them to his lawyer. When Hal finds out that he won’t be released because of a conduct report, he hatches a plan to expose the corruption. Not only are they falsifying medical reports, they are doing the same thing with conduct reports. With insight from Paco, Hal learns that the superintendent and his staff are corrupt, allow the fights to happen, and are keeping the boys from getting proper medical attention. He learns from Paco that dealing with gang retribution is not his biggest problem. Now he's a target, but he becomes friendly with Paco, one of the gang leaders. Hal just wants to get back to a normal life with his father and girlfriend, so he decides not to join a gang. There are two gangs at the juvenile home and all new arrivals either join the gang or are gang targets. Hal and his father have good intentions, but for Hal, staying out of trouble isn't going to be as easy as he thought. His father must also prove he can stop drinking in order for Hal to return home.
