Alvaro Torres is a teenager with man-sized problems: his dad
bailed, his mom s a shut-in, and his teacher at Our Lady of
Providence School for Boys thinks Alvaro and his buddies are punks
headed for a minimum-wage future. It doesn't look like anything's
going to change until Candelario Carlisle transfers in and arouses
Alvaro s protective instincts... among other things. When a bully
threatens the pretty new kid, Alvaro takes Cande under his wing and
into his fledgling dance group. Slowly, under Alvaro s care and
attention, the hard shell Cande has built around his heart begins
to melt. The more involved they become, the more reluctant Cande is
to add misery to Alvaro s life, but Cande s past could ruin the
only opportunity these delincuentes have for a better life.
