Little Boy Blue is a 1997 independent drama film directed by Antonio Tibaldi about a dysfunctional Texas family.
Jimmy starts becoming suspicious about his father being a murderer, and one night when Kate visits him in the warehouse he asks her to take the boys and leave Ray for good.
She listens to his shocking story about Ray's abusive behavior, and is startled when Jimmy says that he cannot leave his own sons with such a Vietnam-traumatised monster.
As she breaks into tears while telling the story, she does not forget to mention that "it was 19 years ago and that nobody helped her then and did not find her son."
While he starts mumbling that she has the wrong person, that he has not done anything bad to her, she shoots him several times and heads to the warehouse, where Kate is hiding near Jimmy's bed.
As the woman starts looking around the place, she finds the "Little boy blue" book lying on the table, and breaks into tears.
The boys, who had been hiding under the house, run towards the warehouse, but are stopped by a police officer, who had come to find the woman.
The boys spend the night in the police car, and in the morning the elder brother remembers that their father had been recently working a lot around their minivan.
As the doors are opened, the viewer gets an inside look at an unconscious Jimmy, tied up to the wooden shelves like on a cross, bloody and bruised.
