Twenty-one-year-old Martin Kelly Minter knows what he wants: a meaningful relationship with his beautiful Puerto Rican neighbor, Luz, and a place in history as a modern-day Robin Hood. A college dropout trying to escape his middle-class childhood, Kelly works for the Miracle Moving company. Every day he wonders if the people he moves appreciate what they have. Thinking the answer is no, he steals from them, and gives food and money to people on the New York City streets. An on a cold winter day he bakes bread, hoping the heat of it outside their Spanish Harlem building will seduce Luz. Kelly tries hard to do right, but when an art dealer offers him a chance to make big-time money as a bigger-time theif, he thinks thievery is his destiny -- until he discovers that the world is a far more complicated place than he always believed.
