A young, misguided, hoodlum finds friendship, love and caring persons far away from the torment of his derelict parents and then finds people who take him in for what he is, a juvenile delinquent runaway.

The long arm of the law follows him for his whole life, sometimes wrongly.

The sweat that murderer's sweat, while waiting to be executed on death row for their wrong doing, doesn't apply here. Prosecuted for something he hasn't done causes Buster to seek Him, in his last days.

Buster recalls from the prison's death house all of the bad things that he did in his young life, which includes breaking all of the Ten Commandments and ending up with his name being written upon a state's death warrant. Will He answer Buster's last prayers?
