Synopsis
  • Three friends, Jack, Billy and Saf uncover an ancient mystical belt, which they find beneath an old flat stone near a large tree. Jack grabs the belt and the three kids take a bus home. Jack lives with an abusive stepfather, who routinely beats on his mother and he. After wailing on his wife, Jack's father Larry leaves the house with two men, Mister O'Dunne and a chauffeur named Hymie. Afterwards, Jack's mother tells him that she is going to leave Larry. Jack goes up to his room to be alone. Billy calls him on the telephone. As the two talk, Jack puts on the mystical belt. He is instantly transformed into a muscle-bound adult with long hair and tattoos.
