His friends include Laurie (Rosario Dawson) - his childhood sweetheart, Giuseppe - reckless, destructive, and possibly insane, Mike OShea - a Scottish boy who dreams of becoming a musician, Nerf, a friend who eventually calls Dito back, and Antonio (Channing Tatum) - a confident, volatile boy with an abusive father.One interpretation is that Dito begins to believe that he has been saved from his friends fate by his saints.
