When a child, Chirona lives with his single, crack addict mother Paula in a crime-ridden neighborhood in Miami is a shy, withdrawn child largely due to his small size and being neglected by his mother, who is more concerned about her needs and desires than taking care of him. Due to this, Chirona is bullied, the slurs hurled at him which he doesn't understand beyond knowing that they are meant to be hurtful. Besides his same-aged Cuban-American friend Kevin, Chiron is given what little guidance he has in life from a neighborhood drug dealer named Juan, who can see that he is neglected, and Juan's caring girlfriend Teresa, whose home acts as a sanctuary away from the bullies and away from Paula's abuse.
