Genre: Drama
Director: Nick Gomez
Cast: Sharron Corley, Gabriel Casseus, Saul Stein, Gwen McGee, Andre Moore, Donald Faison
The dead-end lives of delinquent Black young men are depicted in this film.

This movie shows the futility of their world of instant gratification in a world that does not allow them to obtain their dreams.
