Tom Warszaw, a graphic artist, reveals to his wife the truth about why he left New York City's Greenwich Village for Paris at the age of 13. As a sensitive and considerate boy, Tommy was smothered by his mother, a mute orderly, and sought guidance from an unlikely source - a women's prison inmate. With his best friend Pappas, the janitor's assistant, Tommy worked odd jobs, saving up tips for a bike they could call their own. However, things take a devastating turn when Pappas steals the bike, and Tommy is unfairly expelled from school. The consequences of this event have a lasting impact on Tommy's life.
