Miles’ Life
A grocery store security guard named Lucia catches a high school student named Miles in the act of shoplifting. After learning a lot about his personal life, Lucia feels sorry for Miles, who steals just to maintain a stable life.

Darren is the name of the mafia boss who employs Miles. He is a middle-aged man with a bad haircut who tries to keep a low profile, but he is also very stubborn and has an intermittent anger disorder. His rage is very out-of-this-world and his energy is very high in a very bad way. Once when he lost his temper, he also lost a leg.
Miles is a regular high school student working for a drug boss. No biggie, except he’s desperate to make ends meet and is barely paying the rent. Miles is so desperate that he is willing to beat up thugs on his territory with his famed baseball bat, which he calls, “Ol’ Reliable.” Miles needs a miracle and quick, before he strikes out himself. Miles is not an overly excited dude. He may be shocked at times, but he would never show it. And you will never see him smile, because he never does.
Lucia is a security guard who’s serious about her job, but she has a soft spot for hard luck stories, which sometimes makes her job more difficult to handle. Lucia catches Miles stealing from the store where she works, but after getting to know him a bit more, she ends up feeling sympathetic for him regardless of him being a thief.
