Protecting what’s rightfully his, Huck keeps the money in a trust, tucked away from his drunken father. With the weight of numerous county judges siding with Huck’s father in securing the money, Huck fears his life of independence has been hopelessly squandered. Forced to endure confinement and relentless abuse, Huck takes matters into his own hands, leading him to an adventure and the friendship of a lifetime.
