电影改编自Justin Torres的半自传小说《 We the Animals》。但从imdb翻译过来的豆瓣简介却驴唇不对马嘴。
维基对剧情是这么介绍的基本靠谱：The young, unnamed narrator, a boy, grows up in a tight-knit family with two older brothers, Manny and Joel. His parents, who were teenagers when the boys were conceived and married, have an abusive unhappy marriage but still feel love for each other.
In a series of vignettes, the narrator describes how his parents struggle to keep the family afloat and how his father and eventually his brothers, are abusive towards his mother who is deeply unhappy and longs for a better life.
As the narrator grows up he senses a difference between himself and his brothers which is partially caused by his love of literature and is partially caused by the fact that he is gay. After his parents discover his journal which is filled with erotic imaginings and fantasies the narrator lashes out violently attacking his parents and siblings after which he is taken to a mental institution and he loses contact with his family.
主线上看：是从一个家里的老三，最小的儿子看父母、二个哥哥和纽约贫民窟布鲁克林的郊区生活。他自己经常写日记并配图，记录自己内心的感受。最后他从邻居小哥哥那里的色情录像带中受到启迪，发现自己是个gay。
