Set during World War II, Lost in Yonkers follows two teenage brothers as they are forced to live with their cane-wielding grandmother for a year, while their father travels for work so that he can pay off debts incurred as a result of their mother’s illness and death. A battle of wills ensues, culminating in everyone inevitably learning valuable lessons about duty, devotion, trust and love.
