Following the death of their mother in a car crash, a 12-year old boy, Jack (nicknamed “The Bear”) and his young brother move to Oakland with their slatternly father. Since dad drinks incessantly, Jack is left to raise his young brother. While trying to adjust to their tough new neighborhood, they must fend off the assaults of a wacko neighbor, a racist Viet Nam veteran who kidnaps the youngest boy, and then comes after Jack, as well. Jack needs all the strength his nickname implies to overcome this maniac.
