Watch St. Vincent

A young boy is upset because his parents are divorced, and there is no chance of them getting back together. This boy does not have anyone to talk to about his feelings and doubts in life, and he is ashamed to confront his mother on this matter. Out of nowhere, this young boy meets the man that lives next door. The man is a veteran, and the boy feels like he can trust this man. However, the young boy quickly finds out that this man hates life, he's a pervert, and he will do anything he can to offend anyone.

Though the boy really likes the man that lives next door, the mother thinks this man is a bad influence on her son. The veteran does not realize his deep feelings about life until this boy, who happens to be his best friend, is taken away from him. The veteran must now change his ways and become a good role model.
