When his mother is sentenced to jail for prostitution, Social Services advises locking him up in the Ryan institution which is filled with juvenile mental patients. Larry wants to stay with his stepfather, but he has a criminal record. Nick's last trump card is pressing the unsuspecting biological father, but that backfires. Nick's friends, industrialist Bart Shell and his kids, Nick's ambitious ex-lover Rachel and her traditionalist brother, are in a bitter fight of corporate control of the family business.
