Synopsis

Delinquent is the story of Joey, a 17-year-old in rural Connecticut who finds the idea of following in his father's footsteps as a small-time crook romantic and alluring. But after Joey accompanies his father and his crew on a burglary that goes horribly wrong, he is faced with mounting pressures from the victims, his accomplices, and his own conscience. He'll have to make decisions that will change the course of his life.
