Little boy blue

Young Alex Hamilton is intelligent and independent but given to sudden fits of rage.

Rebellious since his parents split up, Alex is constantly absconding from foster homes and institutions to be with his father, a broken man who can't give his son the home he desperately needs.

Surrounded by well meaning, over worked social workers, vicious and cruel authority figures, and always by no good peers, Alex is on a collision course with the law and himself.
