Baby Dave Pelzer was starved and brutally beaten by his biological mother. His mentally unstable and addicted mother always plays tricks that are unpredictable, cruel, and endanger his life. Dave must learn to deal with his own mother's blows to survive because she no longer sees him as her son, but as a slave; In her eyes, Dave was not a baby, but an "animal".Dave's place to sleep is a small and old cot in the basement, and his clothes are tattered and always have a strong smell. He was only left by his mother for leftovers, stale food. The outside world doesn't know anything about that poor boy's real nightmares. He doesn't have anyone to lean on, only dreams that guide him to continue living - dreams of someone who cares about him, loves him and calls him his son.
