TROUBLE CHILD is a seedy slice of the gritty urban underworld of teenage prostitution, a place where greed, pain, and lies are the only constants. Whether the reason young girls get tangled up in the sex trade stems from abuse, brainwashing, drug-addiction, or fear, it doesn't change the fact that they are living in an insanely dangerous reality; one shared by nearly three million adolescents. Set in the Bronx, this short film shines a dim light on society's need to solve the ever-present and continually growing issue of teenage runaways and homelessness. In this story, Veronica, a counselor at a group home, tries to gain the trust of a rebellious young girl, by exposing her own criminal past as a teenage runaway who fell in love with a man who turned out to be a pimp.
