Synopsis:

TV movie based on the the story of the kid who divorced his parents. Gregory has lived a rough life. His father abuses him and his two brothers. The boys are placed with the mother. Gregory is placed in a boys ranch after his mother can't take care of him and his two brothers. While at the ranch a lawyer visiting the facility meets him. He and his wife decide to adopt him and make him a part of the family. But Gregory can't be adopted until his biological parents lose custody. He divorces his parents from their rights to him.

Gregory K' is a 12-year old boy who made history. Abused and neglected by his parents, he became a celebrity when he took them to court and pleaded to be "divorced" from them so that he could be adopted by his loving foster parents. We see the emotional pressure put on Gregory himself as he is torn between his loyalty to his loving but alcoholic mother and his own need for happiness and security.
