Thicker Than Blood (TV)
1998 · Movie · min. · United States
Griffin Byrne is a newly assigned teacher to a Catholic high school in a inner-city near slum neighbourhood of New York, which is run down by headmaster Father Frank Larkin. There, he meets and tries to help Lee Cortez, a smart boy from a poor and troubled family. Lee has a good heart and artistic skills, but is constantly dragged down by his social environment and about to leave the school. Byrne's struggle to help Lee reflects the struggles and difficulties to which the school is being subjected to everyday.
