Plot

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is based on JT Leroy's critically acclaimed novel of the same name. Jeremiah is a young child who is pulled from his foster home and thrown into a life on the streets with his teenage junkie hooker mother, Sarah, who feeds him drugs and gives his body to her boyfriends and then, perhaps even worse, to her cuckoo religiously fanatic parents. Three years later she reclaims him for a repeat dose of the same. A frightening story about dreadful child abuse.
