Tough Enough

Fifteen-year-old Michael Polischka is thrown into the gritty urban world of a rough ethnic neighbourhood, far from the posh suburbs he’s used to. Beatings and extortion by a gang of violent bullies makes public high school miserable for Michael. Life at home isn’t much better since he has to put up with the guys his pretty young mum entertains in her desperate search for a new man. Michael’s life turns around when urban crime lord Hamal takes him under his wing. Michael’s honest face makes him the perfect guy for drug deliveries to local dealers. The teenager handles the tension of these dangerous missions like a pro. Michael proves he’s tough enough, but finds out eventually he’s actually in way over his head. (official distributor synopsis)
