[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A jailbird's (the Swayze) kids are put in state-run homes when their mother dies. His teenage daughter escapes the abusive home where she lives, and convinces her recently-released-for-prison father to pick up her younger brother too. At first he tries to dump them with their grandmother, but she's a gambler and a cheat so the the cops are after her too. He then takes the kids to New Orleans with him, where he plans to pull off a big heist that could set him up for life.
