Plot

"Just Like the Son" takes us on a heartwarming journey of friendship and determination with twenty-year-old Daniel Carter (Webber), a streetwise petty thief with a heart of gold. His life takes an unexpected turn after a chance encounter with Boone (Ortiz), a spirited eight-year-old boy, during his community service at an East Village grade school. As Daniel learns about Boone's ailing mother and the boy's sudden disappearance into foster care, he is moved by a deep urge to help. A profound bond forms between the unlikely pair, leading Daniel to execute a daring plan — he decides to liberate Boone from his temporary foster home in Upstate New York. Armed with courage and his street-smart wit, Daniel embarks on a cross-country odyssey with Boone, aiming for the distant horizon of Dallas, Texas. Their destination? Boone's long-lost older sister, Charlotte, who may hold the promise of a better life for the young boy. "Just Like the Son" paints a vivid picture of an unconventional road trip adventure, pulsating with unexpected twists and heart-tugging moments. As Daniel and Boone strive to reach Dallas, their shared journey becomes more than a quest — it transforms into a testament of their brotherly bond and mutual resilience. This poignant tale is as much about their destination as it is about the unexpected friendships forged on the winding roads of life.
